National Reso-Phonic ResoLectric Revolver

Presenting the National Reso-Phonic ResoLectric Hybrid Guitar, this one in their Revolver (Transparent Black) finish.

National's Resolectric has gone through a few changes in its 25 years of production. The current model uses a factory Lollar Firebird pickup in the neck position and a Fishman Nashville pickup in the bridge. The new buffered preamp allows blending between the two pickups.

The controls are as follows (starting with the closest to the headstock): master volume, blend, master tone. The preamp is powered by two 9-volt batteries located at the back of the instrument under the control plate.

As of 2012, all Resolectrics come equipped with National's standard neck-tilt feature. This allows the action to be lowered or raised without re-slotting the bridge. The adjustment screw is located through the fingerboard at the 21st fret. The solid mahogany body is capped with a figured maple top bound in ivoroid. The figured maple neck clears 14 frets to the body, ebony fingerboard highlighted with mother of pearl position markers.
