National Hot-Plate

The National Hot Plate was designed by National Reso-Phonic & guitarist Mike Dowling to address the issues of amplifying resophonic guitars. It is a self contained unit that simply replaces the coverplate on your existing instrument … just take the strings off, grab your trusty screwdriver and in 15 minutes you’re ready to plug in.

As Mike Dowling says: “To me, the National Reso-Phonic HotPlate sounds just like the tone of the unamplified guitar, only louder. On my El Trovador it sounds like the El Trov, on the Style 0 it sounds like a Style O, on the Reso-Rocket . . . well, you get the idea. No question, National Reso-Phonic guitars are full-sounding and loud played acoustically, but for those who need a pick-up there’s no cleaner option. I use the pick-up primarily to reinforce my sound and round out the bottom end when I’m on stage or in the studio, and when used discreetly in conjunction with an instrument mic I find that I sacrifice none of the acoustic integrity of the instrument.”
