In the retro-designed National Reso-Lectric a mahogany body combines with a nicely figured Eastern hard rock maple veneer top. Its solid inverted (slimmer as it rises) peghead displays a pearloid overlay with a baby blue, gold and black crest which bears the legend "Reso-," "National," "Phonic" complete with 3 art deco spears (short-long-short) running through the crest.
Mounted on a gorgeous creme-black bordered grained ivoroid pickguard (that bears its own smaller crest and spears) is a black single coil P-90 pickup in the neck position. Above and to the left of that pickup are three old-style chicken-beak black knobs as you would see in, say, 1939. In addition you get a high fidelity Highlander IP-1X Piezo pickup in the saddle. Them chicken-beak knobs control the blend, the tone and the volume. The cover plate gleams with manic intensity and features 9 diamonds each made up of 42 holes to allow the intensified acoustic sound to command the room with reso-phonic resplendence. This guitar is known for its extreme versatility, and the sound that emits derives from the hidden hollers of Hell, right at your fingertips to do with as you please. This is an electric guitar for the jaded and the faded - it inspires every player to great expression and the ability to, in a small way, control the world.
