In the mid-1920’s the legendary National guitar was invented in Los Angeles, CA. This art deco instrument, with three resonating speaker cones inside the body of the guitar, projected out an incredible sound. It was revolutionary for its time and remains a true American original!!

National guitars, invented in the roaring 20’s, survived the Great Depression but were stopped by World War II. After the War, National again produced guitars; however, the thrill was gone and their last guitars were made in the late ‘50’s/early ‘60’s. Nationals became only a discarded memory.

In 1988 this great American Legend was rebirthed by National Reso-Phonic Guitars: dedicated to reproducing the sound, beauty and style of the old Nationals as well as to bringing innovation into the resonator stringed instruments. They have produced guitars with reportedly louder sound and better tone than their forebears. The company pays close attention to detail including careful replication
