WAYS TO PAY:
National guitars are renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship, produced in San Luis Obispo, California. From the moment raw lumber arrives at the factory to the final assembly of each guitar, the creation process is meticulously managed in-house. Whether it's forming and soldering sheets of metal, processing raw lumber, mixing and spraying lacquer, or final setup, the small team of skilled craftsmen and women ensures that every instrument is made to the highest standard. Their dedication to making the finest wood and metal-body resonator instruments is evident in each guitar that leaves the workshop.
One of the standout lines from National is the Raw Series, featuring a minimalistic, wax-finished body that delivers a naturally smooth feel. Over time, these instruments develop a patina, giving each guitar a unique, vintage look. The guitar described here boasts a steel body, complete with a hardrock maple neck and a distinctive "chicken-foot" resonator coverplate.
The choice of a 14-fret model offers certain features that distinguish it from its 12-fret counterparts. As well as excellent access to the higher part of the fingerboard, the 14-fret version includes a solid peghead and rolled F-holes, as opposed to the 12-fret model that typically comes with a slotted headstock and flat-cut F-holes.
In terms of durability, National ensures that all steel-bodied instruments receive an interior finish that protects the guitar from rust, ensuring longevity and performance.
