National ResoRocket

ResoRocket STEEL

The ResoRocket blends the best of a vintage 1930s National with the convenience of a Bendaway body, offering you ease of access to the higher notes on the fretboard. The steel body boasts a gleaming rubbed finish and a newly designed coverplate pattern that complements the distinctive Tricone-style grill work on the soundports. The hard-rock maple neck includes an ivoroid-bound rosewood fingerboard with diamond-shaped inlays and a distinctive pearloid overlay on the solid headstock. Still, it’s that upper bout that makes this guitar special: Modified with a cutaway to the 17th fret, it extends your range of playing and makes this one of the most versatile single-cone National guitars ever.

ResoRocket WB

The mahogany-bodied ResoRocket WB combines the lovely sonority of a wooden body in a Bendaway single-cone instrument to create a unique National guitar. Mahogany provides a warm, rich tone as well as distinctive style. The Tricone grill work on the soundports is also replicated in wood. The neck too is made of mahogany, capped by an ebony fretboard with ivoroid binding and dot markers. With the upper bout modified for easier access to the higher frets, this is both a versatile and beautiful-sounding National.
