WAYS TO PAY:
National guitars are crafted in San Luis Obispo, California, by a team of dedicated artisans. From the early stages of processing raw lumber, to shaping and soldering sheets of metal, and meticulously applying lacquer, nearly every aspect of production is handled in-house. This ensures a consistently high standard of quality. The small but passionate team of craftsmen and women is committed to producing the finest wood and metal-body resonator instruments in the world.
One of their standout creations is the Estralita Deluxe, a resonator guitar that marries the best of both wood and metal. By combining a wooden guitar body with an aluminium resonator cone, National Guitars achieves a tone that is both warm and beautiful. The result is a rich, distinct sound that sets this instrument apart.
Introduced in 2001, the Estralita Deluxe has a stunning design. Its body is made of walnut for the back and sides, with a maple laminate top that showcases a glorious figured pattern. This top is triple-bound with ivoroid/black/ivoroid binding, perfectly highlighting its sunburst finish. The walnut neck is complemented by an ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard, with mother-of-pearl diamond inlays that add an elegant touch. The slotted headstock, overlaid with white pearloid and engraved with the National logo, adds to the guitar's sophisticated appearance.
This model features a deeper body than traditional guitars, with a thickness of about 3.65 inches, compared to the standard 3.125 inches. The vintage-style, open-gear engraved tuners add to its classic aesthetic.
Though the Estralita Deluxe is undeniably a visual masterpiece, its true allure lies in its tone. Whether strummed, picked, or played with a slide, this guitar produces a rich and bold sound that resonates deeply with musicians. Its vibrant tone is both inspiring and captivating, making it a true "little star" in the world of resonator guitars.
The Estralita Deluxe comes complete with a deluxe National hardshell case, offering both protection and style for this exceptional instrument.
In the world of guitar-making, National Guitars continues to stand out, blending tradition, innovation, and artistry to create instruments that are not only beautiful to look at but also a joy to play.
