National Style 1.5 Tricone Resophonic Guitar Nickel, 2004

On July 11, 2018 /

This example of the National Style 1.5 Tricone Resophonic is dated 09-04 (September 2004) and is in overall good condition. The body is brass with nickel plating and a double-line engraving around the edge (the nickel plating presents a few challenges to capturing an image). Nickel has a tendency to lightly tarnish over time; this is one of the reasons many shifted to Chrome as a longer lasting plating material.

National ResoPhonic T-14 Cutaway Tricone, Weathered Steel, 2018

On March 22, 2018 /

We’ve just taken delivery of a brand new, new model National Resophonic T-14 Cutaway Tricone in a new finish – Weathered Steel. The official model number is ‘T-14WS’, and it’s a slim, steel bodied, three cone resophonic guitar with a 14-fret neck. And at under eight pounds, it weighs less than many solid body electrics! The T-14 Cutaway Tricone is full-scale guitar, at 25.66 inches. This requires a bit more tension on the strings and the cones, which can result in increased volume.

The Republic Highway 61 has a single cone resonator, 12 inch wide body – around the size of a Les Paul, and has a 22 inch scale length with 1 13/16 inch nut width. The body sports lattice soundholes like those on a Tricone model, so there’s lots of space for air to move. These sound good, and the smaller size makes them a lot of fun, and easier to play.

TESTIMONIALS

Simply Over The Moon Playing this Beautiful Herringbone!

I want to first thank Nevin who has spent time with me over several visits explaining the ins and outs of acoustic guitars. He has always been patient with, I’m sure to him, obvious questions and also full of really interesting information. Thank you Nevin, and thank you also for your diligence taking my Lucille in on consignment. Hope to hear from you soon on that!

I have been simply over the moon playing this beautiful herringbone the last few days.

Many thanks also to Brian who saw me standing there, guitar in hand and wondering what next and wrapped everything up very nicely and clearly. Anyhow great day as always when I visit you.

Overall, great service and a great shop.

I picked up a Strat on Saturday, and was helped by Nevin. He was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the differences in the models. Once I made my selection, he set it up for me and showed me how to make minor adjustments myself.

Overall, great service and a great shop.
