Boutique Resonator Muscle with Premium Electric Voice
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present this exceptional, custom-finished preowned National ResoRocket Steel in a rare, discontinued factory Satin Navy Blue finish. Combining the legendary acoustic projection of a classic single-cone resonator with the sweet, articulate growl of a neck-mounted Lollar P-90 pickup, this instrument effortlessly bridges the gap between delta bottleneck slide sessions and plugged-in roots-rock performances.
This specific guitar comes to us in near-mint condition, showcasing a stunning, sleek satin aesthetic. It features only one tiny finish mark near the edge that could very well be an artifact from National's meticulous hand-built assembly process. Fully setup in-house for fluid playability, it is currently strung with 12–52 Wound Third electric strings adjusted to medium action—perfect for balancing crisp fretwork with effortless slide tracking. Includes its original National Deluxe hardshell case.
