After years
of research and
development, National
Reso-Phonic Guitars
is proud to introduce
to you our new woodbody
M-1 Tricone! At
nearly 3.3 lbs. lighter
than its metal-body
counterpart, this
instrument features
laminated mahogany
body construction,
highlighted by a sturdy
wood soundwell and
hand-painted steel
cover- plate. The
new M-1 combines
the unmistakable
sound of a Tricone
with the warmth of a
wood-body. Outfitted
with our new-alloy
cones and aluminum
T-bridge, we believe
this instrument to be
quite versatile.

Designed in
collaboration with
Mike Dowling, this
single cone guitar is
patterned after the
famous El Trovador
produced from 1932-
1933. Similar to its
predecessor, our
El Trovador guitar
features a large, 4”
deep body constructed
of mahogany. The
body is bound in
multilayer celluloid,
with a matching
purfling border around
the coverplate. A
wood soundwell
houses the
resonator. An ebony
fretboard is mated
to a solid mahogany
neck, capped with a
rosewood headstock
overlay. The El
Trovador’s deep,
unique voice has
made it our most
popular guitar in
recent years.
