Hear This Instrument: National 0-14 Brass Body
Recorded In-House on a Sony PCM-D50 handheld recorder with no compression or eq.
Due, in part, to Mark Knopfler's use of the instrument on many Dire Straits records; this is the one most people imagine when they think of the famed National namesake.
National's reproduction Style O-14 Fret meets the demands of players needing easier access to the higher frets. Based on the original 1937 model, the hard rock maple neck clears 14 frets to the body. The brass body is made of thin gauge material polished to a mirror-like shine, nickel plated and etched with the traditional Hawaiian scene. The chicken-foot coverplate, formed back, and inlaid rosewood peghead complete the authentic look of this guitar.
