1994 National Reso-Phonic Polychrome Tricone Grayburst Resonator Acoustic Guitar

Description: 1994NationalReso-PhonicPolychrome TriconeGrayburst FinishResonator Acoustic Guitar with Hardshell CaseUsed - Excellent+ Condition When he invented the original National Tricone all the way back in 1927, John Dopyera was seeking to create a louder guitar with internal amplification...but he also insisted that the guitar’s tone be absolutely clear. His groundbreaking design patented in 1927 with three resonating cones projected the guitar’s sound so it could be over the sound of dancers and cut through a band or orchestra. As John rightly boasted, “The Tricone guitar flowed like a river,” and the company’s early ads proclaimed it “The Greatest Musical Sensation of the Age.” Now, almost 100 years later, Tricones are still revered by musicians everywhere for that special sound. This Polychrome features a steel body with a grayburst powedercoat finish, a maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and an incredible, unmistakable sound. An early National advertisement in 1927 touted the Tricone’s tone, power, and quality of sound, and this '94 Polychrome proudly carries on that tradition!
