2011 National M1 Tricone
# 16609. National Resophonic's mahogany bodied M1 Tricone has a tone unlike anything else the company has ever offered. The volume and dynamic range of this guitar will surprise you at first strum; it's much more airy and open than a brass or steel Tricone -- and has much less focus in the mids than the metal bodies. Instead, the sound is warm, wide and breathy, and controlled. Fingerstyle guitarists (who don't play slide) will find inspiration in this instrument, as will anybody who's always wanted a resonator but hasn't found one that's just right.
A truly remarkable creation, and more than 3 pounds lighter than a brass-bodied equivalent. Mahogany ply body with wooden soundwell, mahogany neck, ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard, slotted headstock. Round neck carve, 25.65" scale, 1-13/16" nut.
This example was bought new at Folkway a few years back and has been very well treated since. It's in wonderful condition, with unworn frets, excellent finish, and a comfortable hybrid slide/fingerstyle set up. There are a few tiny dings on the guitar, and the neck finish has become glossed-up from playing.
With original hardshell case
