2009 National Trilolian Sunburst

Sunburst, a copy of Nationals first single cone resonator with a steel body, flamed maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and sieve hole cover plate. Finished in a cool retro walnut to gold sunburst. National famously learned to spin resonator cones from the Dopyera family. These are mechanical speakers not driven by electricity but by the action of the strings. You know the sound it’s part of the American music story. Listen to Son House, Bukka White, Taj Mahal, Keb Mo and Blind Boy Fuller.


This guitar has delightfully low action, a great neck with a V profile. The bound fingerboard softens the edges. The sound is loud and proud, you’ll love it. Comes with a nice but non original hard case.
