presents

In 1927, National produced the first mechanically amplified guitar--The Tricone. National Reso-Phonic Guitars is honored to carry on that tradition of quality and craftsmanship. We at Pittsburgh Guitars are proud to carry this fine product!

Single Cone

At the heart of every National instrument is the resonator cone. The resonator mechanically amplifies the true, sweet tone produced by the strings.
