The upper bout has been modified for easier access to the higher frets. This brass body guitar is highly polished and bright nickel plated. The maple neck has an engraved pearloid headstock overlay and mother-of-pearl dia-mond position markers.

Our Resolectric has gone through a few changes in its 19 years of production. The current model uses an audiophile-quality Highlander preamp to mix both the mag-netic and piezo elec-tric pickups. A Jason Lollar P-90 pickup sits in the neck position, and a Highlander pi-ezo transducer is fit-ted under the saddle. The output of each pickup is controlled by independent vol-ume knobs, with a master volume knob to control the instru-ment’s overall output level. A 3-way toggle switch selects which pickups are active. The solid mahogany body is capped with
a figured maple top bound in ivoroid. The figured ma-ple neck clears 14 frets to the body, highlighted with
a diamond inlaid, rosewood fret-
board.

M-1Tricone El TrovadorTricone SingelCone
Designed in collaboration with Mike Dowling, this
single cone guitar is patterned after the famous El Trovador
produced from 1932-1933. Similar to its
predecessor, our El Trovador guitar
features a large, 4” deep body constructed
of mahogany. The body is bound in
multilayer celluloid, with a matching
purfling border around the coverplate. A wood soundwell
houses the resonator. An ebony
fretboard is mated to a solid mahogany neck, capped with a
rosewood headstock overlay. The El
Trovador’s deep, unique voice has made it our most popular guitar in
recent years.
After years of research and development, National Reso-Phonic Guitars is proud to introduce to you our new wood-body M-1 Tricone! At nearly 3.3 lbs. lighter than its metal-body counterpart, this instrument features laminated mahogany body construction, highlighted by a sturdy wood soundwell and hand-painted steel cover- plate. The new M-1 combines the unmistakable sound of a Tricone with the warmth of a wood-body. Outfitted with our new-alloy cones and aluminum T-bridge, we believe this instrument to be quite versatile.

This is our classic, steel body guitar with a modern crystalline lacquer finish that replicates the “frosted Duco” used on Nationals from the 1930s. It is a traditionalnitrocellulose material and has the same basic characteristics as the nitrocellulose finishes used on fine wooden instruments. Irregularities in the surface are sometimes present due to the additives that form the crystals. These finishes will amber with age. It will also exhibit wear when confronted with metal finger picks and metal slides. So, treat this guitar with the same care that you would a fine instrument finished in nitrocellulose lacquer.
