National ResoRocket Style N 2012

The National ResoRocket Style N combines the distinctive powerful metallic tone of a single biscuit cone with a cutaway body that gives you effortless access to the higher notes.

The ResoRocket is one of National’s contemporary designs: a single-cone resonator with a redesigned coverplate that pays homage to the classic Tricone grille pattern on the soundports. The defining feature of this model is the cutaway “Bendaway” body, providing easy access to the upper frets. The N version features a brass body with a high-gloss nickel finish, giving the instrument an extra dose of glamour.

With its single biscuit cone, this National delivers exactly the bold metallic voice the brand is known for: loud, cutting, and with a bite that makes it particularly suitable for blues, slide, and powerful fingerpicking. The brass body adds a slightly warmer, sweeter character compared to what you would typically hear from a steel-bodied model.

This 2012 National is in excellent condition. The guitar shows cosmetic signs of playing, with spots and superficial scratches visible on the body. The neck has dents, and the matte finish has gradually developed a subtle natural shine from playing. Comes with a case and TFOA passport.

This instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
