The Korena take

Built around three 6-inch resonator cones, the National Style 1 Tricone uses a brass body with a polished nickel-plated finish for its distinctive visual and tonal identity. The three-cone design is described as delivering clear, high-volume, bell-like resonance with a balanced response, so it suits slide, fingerstyle, and rhythm work that needs to project. A mahogany neck, ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard, compensated T-bridge, and vintage-style National tuners complete the player-facing details. The guitar includes a TKL hardshell case.
