National Resonator Guitar Tone Samples....
There's much debate on the best sounding metal used on vintage National guitars. In this exercise, I've taken 3 different metal body Nationals and playing a simple riff one guitar after the other. The three guitars are pictured to the left and are as follows...
Very early National Style N 1930, 12 fret, 3 pc german silver body
1935 14 fret National Duolian Steel 2 pc body
1935 14 fret National Style O Brass Body
In order of play, it's Steel, Brass, German Silver
Unfortunately don't have all 12 fretters, but I believe that each metal's distinctiveness comes thru. Enjoy.
