Add to Compare1931 National Duolian
We’ve brought this bad boy back to life with a brand new neck from National Reso-Phonic, making this 1931 National Duolian the perfect combination of vintage and contemporary: plays like fresh butter, rings out like a veteran crooner. Steel body plus single cone resonator, 12 frets to the body, and the perfect amount of patina and play wear to look the part. Clean, clear trebles really bring a lot of color to the voice, and the bass and mids fill it out the rest of the way with a delightful warmth.

**This guitar was recorded for the Dream Guitars Vol. II CD!!
We have a special treasure here, This is a 1928 National Style 1 Tri-Cone, the real deal. This is an all out, full stop blues machine with legendary tone that all blues fans know and love. It is hard to find an old National in this kind of condition, usually there is rust or the steel is nicked and scratched to within an inch of its life. Not this one, it is in stunning condition. Playability is perfect, whether you are fretting or using a slide this thing plays like a dream.

Add to Compare1930 National Triolian, Brass
This is an extremely rare find in vintage Nationals. Here we have a 1930 National Triolian (the first year of production) in Walnut finish but we discovered underneath it is a Style O Brass body! According to Don Young at National Resophonic, during the depression nothing was wasted, so if the engraving in a Style O had a flaw they would paint it and sell it as a Triolian. Very few of these probably exist in the world and it gives this one a great story. The last owner had master Luthier Bill Tippin go over the entire guitar and lovingly bring it up to date with regards to playability and reliability. There is $1500 of repair work in this guitar. The neck was reset and refretted, a new cone was installed to increase the tone and a Highlander Biscuit pickup added for live use. Lastly it has a new National case so this one is completely hassle free, you get all the vintage tone but with modern playability and stability. So here’s a chance for a very rare, Brass Body Triolian with no issues.

We are delighted to share with you this extraordinary early 1927 National Style 1 Tri-Cone guitar. The condition is unlike anything we’ve ever seen, no dings, scratches, still shining like a new dime. The tone is awe-inspiring with the deep, mellowness that only age can instill. This is the Holy Grail of Tri-Cone Resonators. Serial #0327 from the first year of the Tri-Cone design, it also has the one peice neck with slanted top edge proving it’s a very early one. Incredible history, condition and tone. Oh yeh, the original case is with it also!
