AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
Handcrafted in California, the National Raw Tricone Steel combines 1930s-inspired design with modern precision to deliver the unmistakable tone and feel that made National famous. Part of National’s acclaimed Raw Series, this instrument strips back unnecessary frills, offering a minimalist aesthetic and an authentically vintage voice for players seeking grit, power, and soul.
Featuring a steel body with a hand-applied wax finish, the Raw Tricone Steel develops a natural patina over time, giving each instrument a unique, timeworn character. Its maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth playability and refined sustain, while the classic TriCone T-bridge system produces that signature resonant shimmer and complex harmonic depth. With its bold, raspy tone and distinctive look, the Raw Tricone Steel is ideal for blues, slide, and roots musicians who want an instrument that feels alive in their hands.
