2023 National Raw Series German Silver Single Cone 12-Fret Reso-Phonic

This very special National Resophonic model makes us all wanna bust out the bottleneck here at El Diablo!

With a rich tone that tugs at your heart strings, this guitar encapsulates the rich American tradition of country, folk, bluegrass, and blues. Composed of the very same materials used to create some of the earliest National resonator guitars, strumming this modern relic transports you to the North American heartland circa early 20th century.

Owned by Minnesota folk icon Charlie Parr, Charlie had a Vig Guitars mini-humbucker and a super-cool Sears Diamond grille installed onto the guitar at the National Factory in California. Unique, with tons of personality and versatility- this National will be cherished and passed down from parent to child, friend to friend, teacher to student for generations.

Excellent condition, includes OHSC.
