Sporting a unique ‘Weathered Steel’ finish over a steel body with rolled F-holes and a Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard, the Style O Steel 14 Fret delivers all the tone, volume and projection that National is known for.

This National M2 single cone resophonic guitar was built during 2007 in San Luis Opisbo, California. The M1 and M2 models are currently out of production, and were built from 1990 to 1994 and again from 2003 to at least 2012. The National M2 was National ResoPhonic’s earliest single-cone model. The M1, produced around the same time, was the same general construction but was a Tri-Cone model.
