National Tricone Style 1 12 Fret Resophonic Nickel Brass Guitar, 2001

On November 20, 2020 /

The National Tricone Style 1 is based on the seminal National String Instrument Corporation guitars built from 1927 to 1943. National’s first design was for a three-cone amplification system, and the prototypes used a round cover for the three cones but by the time production began, a triangular cover plate was developed. An interesting aside is that many of the early components were made for National by Adolph Rickenbacker, who had a nearby metal shop and an interest in musical instruments.

Gibson 1930s L00 Classic Limited Edition Ebony, 2015

On October 22, 2020 /

The Gibson 1930s L00 Classic is a reproduction of what became a very popular small body guitar introduced in 1932 and built until 1946. At that time, the Dreadnought or Jumbo design was just re-entering the market with Martin’s 1931 D-1, which became the D-18 in 1932. The 1930s L-00 Classic takes its cues from the post-1937 models; prior to that year, the back was not bound.

Taylor 322ce 12 Fret Grand Concert Guitar Edgeburst

On October 5, 2020 /

The Taylor 322ce 12 fret is a very comfortable small bodied guitar with a dark and earthy vibe. This guitar features a Tropical mahogany top and Tasmanian Blackwood sides and back. Both wood sets have a darker complexion and the shaded edge burst finish along with the black pickguard and body binding really tie the whole package together. The Grand Concert body shape of the Taylor 322ce 12 fret is compact and comfortable but still produces a good amount of volume for a small guitar. The blackwood provides a meaty midrange with a little bit of treble sparkle and the mahogany top smooths out the overall tonal range with some natural compression.

National NRP Raw Brass Resophonic Guitar

On September 16, 2020 /

New for 2020, the National NRP Raw Brass 12 Fret sports a new lightly ‘distressed’ finish and still delivers the warm, rich unmistakable National sound. Also available in a 14-fret model and Raw Steel finish. The National NRP Raw Brass Resophonic guitar is built like other NRP models with steel bodies and single 9.5 inch resonator cone, but is visually distinct with its retro ‘Chickenfoot’ style cover plate and new finish. This finish can ‘work’ a bit better than the highly polished and reflective surface on the more expensive models, meaning that it won’t show smudges as easily.
