National Resophonic 1950's, Black Mother of Pearl

This 1950s National Resophonic in Black Mother of Pearl is a striking and unusual creation—a resonator guitar built within the compact frame of an electric-style instrument. Its pearloid veneer shimmers beautifully across the body, giving it a bold, vintage aesthetic that’s pure National charm. The wood body lends warmth and depth to the tone, while the resonator cone delivers that unmistakable metallic shimmer and projection. Compact yet full of character, it has the soulful, singing voice of a classic resonator in a smaller, more portable form. A rare and visually stunning piece that captures the inventive spirit of mid-century National design.  Comes with a chipboard case.
