National Style 2 Tricone

This National Style 2 Tricone resonator guitar is a fantastic instrument that truly embodies the essence of blues and Americana!

The National Tricone is considered by many to be the ultimate instrument for slide guitar. The Tricone design uses three individual cones to amplify the sound of the strings. This concept was the result of a collaboration between inventor John Dopyera and Hawaiian guitarist George Beauchamp, both in search of a louder-sounding instrument.

This roundneck Tricone features a nickel-plated brass body adorned with hand-engraved Wild Rose decorations. The 12-fret mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard is equally striking, thanks to its ivoroid binding, mother-of-pearl inlays, and distinctive headstock.

This iconic guitar is renowned for its striking design, with three small resonator cones housed in a stylish nickel-plated brass body with Wild Rose engraving. The combination of these cones and the unique T-shaped bridge design produces a rich and unmistakable tone, characterized by warm resonance and exceptional sustain.
