AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The National NRP Steel captures the magic of the original 1930s Nationals with modern precision and craftsmanship. Handcrafted in California, this steel-bodied single-cone resonator delivers the unmistakable tone that defined early blues and roots music — warm, raw, and full of character. The NRP Steel’s rubbed nickel finish lends it a vintage patina, while the flat-cut f-holes and ribbed sieve-hole resonator coverplate add to its authentic pre-war aesthetic.
A Honduran mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard ensures smooth playability and excellent sustain, while the slotted headstock and National tuners pay tribute to its classic heritage. Whether you’re a slide player chasing Delta blues tones or a modern musician seeking that unmistakable resonator punch, the NRP Steel offers depth, projection, and tonal richness that’s truly timeless.
