Details
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 cover plate pattern that complements the distinctive Tricone-style grill work on the sound ports. 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.
The single cone, biscuit-bridge design used in the National ResoRocket provides a loud, brash metallic tone; compared to the warmer tone from single cone spider bridge models, which are favoured more for bluegrass styles. But for blues styles, especially those from the southern US areas like the Mississippi Delta, this is the way to go for tone. - Reviews
