Here is another example of a National Estralita Deluxe featuring a great set of native Hawaiian Koa. With tightly flamed grain lines and rich orange coloring this is definitely a beautiful set of wood! This single cone biscuit style resophonic has lots of volume and midrange bark with a hard attack and quick decay. The Pearloid headstock overlay, body binding, mother of pearl diamond inlays and vintage National tuners round out the high end features on this guitar but don’t distract from Koa. Hold onto your hula skirts this is one is sure to please!

This total custom order Baritone 1.5 Tricone not only looks great but sounds huge. The baritone scale neck allows for much lower tunings and massive bass response. The treble side cone has been replaced with a Beard spun cone to provide a bit of extra treble presence and the Vine of Life inlay package looks absolutely stunning. This piece is in excellent overall shape with only a bit of minor fret wear!

This steel bodied tricone has a beautiful satin-nickle plating with a smooth feel and great aged look. This example is in great overall condition. It has recently had its frets dressed and leveled and it is set up for some serious slide playing!
