Compared to National's single-cone instruments, the tricone is known for its smoother response, richer overtones, longer sustain, and a more refined, piano-like voice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe nickel-plated brass body exhibits light, honest playwear and natural patina, including minor areas of plating wear consistent with age and use. These purely cosmetic signs of use add to the instrument's character and do not affect its structural integrity, playability, or tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt some point in its life, the guitar developed a small crack to the neck heel which has since been professionally repaired. The repair is structurally sound, cosmetically excellent, and effectively invisible.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition, a minor separation was beginning to develop along a section of the body seam where the back meets the side; this was professionally stabilised internally and is now secure and stable. Both repairs have been carried out to a high standard and have no impact on the instrument's playability, structural integrity, or remarkable tonal performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFitted with a Highlander pickup system and supplied with the accompanying preamp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"mg214j\" data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003eBody: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"148y6d6\" data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003eFinish: Nickel plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1m5aj0i\" data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1330\"\u003eResonator System: Three 6\" hand-spun cones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"g2yz0m\" data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eBridge: T-Bridge tricone system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1wm7fzn\" data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003eNeck: Honduras Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1uy2n1i\" data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1411\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"aahreg\" data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1442\"\u003eFingerboard Binding: Ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1v8vinj\" data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003eInlays: Mother-of-pearl diamonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1x3lxtn\" data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1yk63p7\" data-start=\"1490\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003eHeadstock: Slotted with engraved ivoroid overlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8e6jpy\" data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1583\"\u003eScale Length: 25-21\/32\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"w0etk6\" data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1666\"\u003eHighlander biscuit brdige pickup with preamp\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1qbteox\" data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1774\"\u003eOriginal Hardshell Case Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL GUITAR IN STOCK***\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mak's Guitars ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57152173867383,"sku":"15005","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/8035\/2813\/files\/NationalStyle1.5tricone.1.jpg?v=1780752955","url":"https:\/\/www.maksguitars.co.uk\/products\/2009-national-style-1-5-tricone-left-handed-pre-owned","provider":"Mak's Guitars ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
