  • 2013 National Reso-Phonic Tricone

    2013 National Reso-Phonic Tricone

    $3,299.00
    We love the M-1, it’s the Tri-Cone resonator guitar with a big, warm wood tone, plenty loud if you want it to be but with no harshness. Featuring vintage Tri-Cone styling, the M-1 is constructed of laminated mahogany with a solid mahogany body for rich wood tone. This guitar is great for the blues but it works great for all kinds of Americana styles. This one is in excellent condition and comes with its original hard shell case in excellent shape too.

Thanks to both its look and sound, the Style “O” remains a timeless classic. w/ Hard shell case

  • National RM1 Mandolin Walnut

    National RM1 Mandolin Walnut

    $4,400.00
    If you are a mandolin player that's tired of getting drowned out this is the banjo-killer for you! But it also sounds great played subtly and has a warm tone and great dynamic range.

The mahogany neck features an ebony fretboard and 1930s peghead with vintage-style tuning machines.

  • 2001 National Reso-Phonic Resolectric
    Sold

    2001 National Reso-Phonic Resolectric

    We love these National Resophonic electric guitars. They have a unique sound, are beautifully constructed and are a little bit different than the guitars one sees every day. To top it all off, plug one of these bad boys into a good tube amp and you have a powerhouse. One of my favorite thing about this guitar is the figured maple top with its light burst and the tasteful pick-guard on top. This lightly used Resolectric displays little to no fret wear and appears to have been well taken care of. The only signs of use in the finish are a few miniscule scuffs/nicks in the back of the guitar. This guitar is in excellent condition and comes with its original hard shell case.
