National M1 Tricone (2010)

Now, this is a cool guitar!  This wood bodied National tricone has a warm, rich and very deep sound, with amazing sustain. It is very versatile and musical, great for slide, but also surprisingly great when played fingerstyle or with a pick.  Compared to metal bodied tricones, this instrument is smoother and warmer, with less bite and metallic "zing".  Another plus is that it weighs a good three pounds less than a comparable metal bodied tricone.  It is in excellent playing shape, with action that works for fretting or slide.  There is a scratch in the finish, noticeable if you look closely at the photos but not from a distance. There are also some light finish issues, consistent with this guitar's age. It comes with its original hard shell case.
