Sound Pure's Take
A tried 'n' true Tricone design in a particularly vibe-a-licious green finish. Tricones offer nice sustain, complexity, and cleanliness of tone compared their slightly more aggressive, brash, single cone kin. No need to settle for a cheap knock off or 6 digit museum piece--with National, it's the real deal every time!
From National Resphonic
The NRP Steel features a steel body but instead of the painted finish of the “B” Series instruments, it boasts a rubbed nickel exterior that gives the guitar a deep, lovely sheen. Just like the original 1930s Nationals, it has flat-cut f-holes and a ribbed sieve-hole resonator coverplate. The Honduran mahogany neck with truss rod is topped by an ebony fingerboard and slotted headstock. And like the B Series NRP guitars, the tone is incomparable, echoing the tone of a vintage National.
