Frequently Asked Questions
It captures a similar warmth and metallic shimmer, but lacks the extreme age and patina of a true vintage National – still, it’s a very respectable approximation.
The neck has a light satin finish, which allows for smooth, fast playing without feeling sticky. It’s not overly thick and doesn't impede the natural feel of the mahogany.
It typically ships with a light gauge set appropriate for resonator guitars. I’d suggest sticking with .011-.047 gauge strings for optimal tone and tension.
