National Raw Steel 14-Fret Resonator with Chicken Foot Cover Plate

Description

National Raw Steel 14-Fret Resonator with Chicken Foot Cover Plate
Raw Series instruments have a minimal, wax body finish giving a naturally smooth feel that will patina over time. They are expertly handcrafted in our California workshop to the high quality standards our reputation is built on. Steel models, like all National steel bodied instruments, have an interior finish to protect against rusting.
The Raw Series instruments are available in steel, brass, and German silver and feature a hardrock maple neck and a chicken-foot resonator coverplate. 12-Fret models have a slotted headstock and flat-cut F-holes while the 14-Fret models have a peghead and rolled F-holes.
Currently we are the only company making guitars of German silver alloy in the tradition of the original 1930’s Nationals. Our Raw Series instruments offer an affordable option to anyone looking to recreate the tone of a vintage National.
Made In California. All instruments are hand-built in San Luis Obispo, California facility and include a deluxe hardshell case and free shipping (within the US).
