2005 National Reso-Phonic 1.5 Tricone - Steel Bodied Resonator Acoustic Guitar
Here we have a very slightly used National Tricone Style 1.5. The tricone is the choice of many slide players who like the added sustain the three cone design offers. The Style 1.5 has just a touch of etching for a classy look.

Player Reviews:
"I love to play bottleneck blues and a Tricone is my weapon of choice. This guitar rings like a bell, the brass body and 3 cones offer up serious sustain and power." - Paul Heumiller
"There's nothing like a brass National guitar to get that ringing tone that we all love. This is a wonderful example of a great steel guitar." - Al Petteway
