【National Style-1】

A very valuable 1929 round neck National Style-1 has arrived. The National resonator guitar, which appeared in 1927, Loud metal instruments such as brass bands and banjos It was an epoch-making guitar that was welcomed with tremendous popularity in the music scene that was sweeping at the time. It was made with a metal body of an alloy called German silver, It seems that it was a very expensive guitar at that time because of the cost. The biggest feature of National's resonator guitar, "Tricorn", By dividing the cone into three parts, two on the bass string side and one on the treble string side, Realizing a richer and more balanced natural box sound Even now, the appeal of its sound continues to attract new players.

The Style-1 this time is characterized by a very simple design compared to other high-end models. Unlike the high-end models Style-2 to Style-4, there is no engraving or engraving on the body. The position mark is also a simple design with a dot position. The individual this time is the head plate of Style-1, which has a simple look. Dressed up to the pearloid head plate used in high-end models. It has a very luxurious finish. There is a crack repair from the 5th string to the 6th string of the head, There is also a repair mark that was filled in the shaft hole of the peg, so there is a possibility that it was dressed up at that time. Assuming that the head plate is retrofitted, there is no discomfort in the thickness of the head shape, Judging from the beautiful finish of the chamfering of the edge and the high precision that is perfectly matched, There is a possibility of factory repair. Because the possibility that it was an original irregular product cannot be discarded, Various speculations are flying among our staff, and the truth is shrouded in mystery.

Regarding the logo, it is definitely not the one at that time, so it has been replaced. It is also oversprayed from the top of the decal. You can feel the romance about the specifications at that time, including various speculations, Above all, I would appreciate it if you could enjoy the goodness of this look purely. Since it is definitely the original 1929 round neck style-1, Don't miss this precious resonator guitar!!

【TONE】

The sound has a warm and soft impression typical of the Style-1. Single cone resonators such as Dobro have a sharp brightness overall, The appeal of the tricorn lies in the softness of its sound. The balance of low, mid, and high frequencies reminiscent of a flat-top guitar is comfortable, Nonetheless, the charm of the National is that you can enjoy just the right amount of sustain. In recent years, I have the impression that things are becoming brighter and more contoured sounds. After all, it makes me feel that this sound cannot be reproduced if it is not a metal component at that time.
