The National M1 Tricone is where tradition meets innovation.Born from the legendary 1927 National Tricone design — the first guitar loud enough to cut through dance halls, jazz bands, and blues jams. She has a beautigul Warm Wooden Voice: Unlike the bright, metallic sound of brass-bodied models, her Mahogany body delivers a rich, warm, and balanced tone that blends beautifully with voice or other instruments. The and-spun aluminum cones and tricone bridge system, offer shimmering harmonics, long sustain, and a voice that sings whether you’re playing fingerstyle, slide, or rhythm. National Reso-Phonic Guitars (California, USA) team hand-assembles every guitar to the highest standards, making each M1 Tricone a lifetime companion.
She’s versatile: perfect for blues, folk, ragtime, and singer-songwriters who want the resonator’s character without the harsh edge of metal-bodied guitars. The M1 Tricone isn’t just a guitar — it’s a piece of history reborn, with a voice that’s as expressive as you are. A big plus is that the M-1 weighs some three pounds less than its metal-bodied counterpart, yet it gives up nothing in sound. Whether on stage, in the studio, or at home, she inspires you to play differently, to play more, and to play with character. She is in DEAD MINT condition. Listen to two sound impressions here:
