National Guitars

Steve James was an authorized National Guitar dealer. He said:

Today, as when the company introduced the original resonator guitars in the late ’20s, National sets the standard for quality of construction and sound.

The Reso-Rocket WB guitars reflect National’s absolutely consistent commitment to superior sound and construction, and I’m proud to have my name on them!  The WB has been my principal working instrument since I took delivery on #1 and, if anything, they’ve gotten better since.  You might want another resonator guitar…but you’ll never need one. I have already placed 20 (and counting!) of these instruments and have gotten nothing but positive reports from new owners who remark on it’s sound and versatility….”I use it for everything!” is a frequent accolade.

The RM-1 mandolin has the volume and projection we expect from National with a full, even tone from low end to high… and that flame maple top!  I’d take this thing to audition for the Memphis Jug Band.
