National Style 1 Tricone German silver Resonator Guitar
The National ResoPhonic Style 1 Tricone shares many of its features with the original National Tricone created by the Dopyera brothers in the late 1920s. This beauty has, as John Dopera himself once said, Tone that flows like a river.
The tricone design is perfect for players who focus on open tunings and slide. The beauty of the design is the increased sustain without sacrificing any volume. 
This Style 1 features a Custom German Silver upgrade on the  body and coverplate. German Silver is the same alloy used by the Dopyera Brothers to create the first National Tricone guitars in the late 1920’s.  The body, coverplate, and tailpiece are polished to a mirror-like shine and nickel plated. German Silver produces a bit more clarity and focus than the bell-like brass bodies.  The tone is a bit mellower and more controlled, with a bit less reverberation and overtones and a more extended low end.
