National Guitars are meticulously crafted in San Luis Obispo, California, where nearly every part of the production process happens in-house. From the initial processing of raw lumber to the final assembly and setup, each step is handled by a dedicated team of craftsmen and women who strive to create the finest wood and metal body resonator instruments.
National's guitars, particularly their metal-bodied resonators, are known for their unique combination of aesthetics and durability. One standout is the National Raw Series, designed with a minimal wax finish on the body. This subtle coating not only enhances the natural, smooth feel of the instrument but also allows the metal to develop a rich patina over time, adding character with age. The steel body is complemented by a hardrock maple neck and a chicken-foot resonator cover plate, hallmarks of this series' blend of elegance and functionality.
National guitars are available in various configurations, with subtle differences between models enhancing their playability and sound. This 12-fret model, for instance, features a slotted headstock and flat-cut F-holes, setting it apart from the 14-fret version, which boasts a solid peghead and rolled F-holes. Both models share a consistent dedication to quality, with an interior finish to prevent rust, ensuring longevity without compromising on tone.
National Guitars' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of their instruments, from the body shape to the precision measurements:
- Nut Width: 1.82"
- String Spacing (E to E): 2.31"
- Body Depth: 3.125"
- Scale Length: 25"
- Fingerboard Radius: 16"
These dimensions are carefully designed to provide optimal playability and comfort for guitarists, whether they're fingerpicking or strumming. The result is a responsive instrument that maintains tonal integrity across the entire fretboard.
Each National guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case, offering sturdy protection for both travel and storage. With its unique combination of handcrafted quality, premium materials, and thoughtful design, National guitars stand out as premium instruments for musicians who demand excellence.
Whether you're drawn to the classic look and feel of the Raw Series or the distinctive sound of their resonators, National Guitars offer a timeless appeal that resonates with players of all styles and genres.
