Sound Pure's Take
A woody, cave-system of tone!
The first word that comes to mind is "vast"
It's got a dark, familiar growl
And highs like a choir of nocturnal birds
I work in a room surrounded by guitars
I tuned this one to open C and gave it a big strum
All the other instruments in the room started humming along
It was like they'd elected a new Alpha right then and there
This National is my new boss

From National Resphonic
After years of research and development, National Reso-Phonic Guitars is proud to introduce to you our new wood-body M-1 Tricone! At nearly 3.3 lbs. lighter than its metal-body counterpart, this instrument features laminated mahogany body construction, highlighted by a sturdy wood soundwell and hand-painted steel cover- plate. The new M-1 combines the unmistakable sound of a Tricone with the warmth of a wood-body. Outfitted with our new-alloy cones and aluminum T-bridge, we believe this instrument to be quite versatile.
