National Resophonic Style N Resonator – USA 2001

Here is a National Style N, a modern take on the classic late-1920s single-cone resonator design, offering the iconic National tone in a clean, understated aesthetic without the ornate engraving of the Style O. It presents in very good condition overall, showing light signs of careful home use, and comes complete with its original hard-shell case.

This example features a German silver body, delivering the unmistakable resonator voice with strong projection, crisp attack, and exceptional clarity. The tone is open and spacious, with a cutting edge that sits perfectly in blues, slide, and roots styles.

This example features a hard rock maple neck paired with an ebony fingerboard, offering a smooth and stable playing experience. The maple biscuit bridge saddle contributes to the guitar’s punchy, articulate response, while vintage-style appointments such as the slotted headstock, three-on-a-plate tuners, ivoroid binding, and National crest complete the classic look.

Playability is excellent, with a comfortable neck profile and responsive feel across the fingerboard. The 25” scale length and wider nut provide a balanced platform for both fingerstyle and slide techniques.

Condition is very good with a few small marks across the body but a notably clean neck and no structural concerns. A beautifully built National Style N that delivers classic resonator tone with a sleek, no-frills aesthetic. Comes with the original hard case in very good condition.
