AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The National Scheerhorn S-1 'Weathered Steel' is a resonator guitar of rare distinction, designed by the legendary Tim Scheerhorn and built with National’s renowned craftsmanship. This steel-bodied powerhouse is tailored for players who crave rich, expressive slide tones and unparalleled projection. Its solid steel L-style body and open-chamber design house a custom handspun Scheerhorn cone, delivering deep, resonant lows, cutting mids, and sparkling highs that sing with authority in any mix.
Built for tone and playability, the S-1 features a hard rock maple neck with an ebony fingerboard, offering smooth response under the fingers and stellar sustain. The cast spider bridge with maple inserts, dual open soundhole rings, and classic fan coverplate bring tradition and modernity together in perfect harmony. Finished in a rugged Weathered Steel patina with chrome-plated hardware, this guitar doesn’t just sound incredible—it looks the part, too. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the S-1 offers the voice and vibe of a true classic.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
