National / Triolian Polychrome / 1933 / Guitar For Sale

The metal Triolian became one of National's best sellers during the Great Depression from 1929 onwards. For just $45 you could get your hands on a real blues machine at the time - much more affordable than the luxurious Style O and Tricone models, but with the same powerful single-cone characteristics. The characteristic yellow-green polychrome finish is adorned on the back with a beautifully stenciled Hawaiian sunset, which gives these guitars their unique charm. This example from 1933 is particularly rare because it still has the 12-fret neck construction, just before National switched to 14-fret necks in 1934. In addition, this Triolian has the later rolled-in f-holes instead of the earlier simply punched holes - a construction that increased the strength of the top. This combination of 12-fret neck and rolled-in soundholes was only produced for a very short period, which is why connoisseurs particularly value these models. Considering its age, the guitar is in excellent condition and exudes that authentic vintage charm that only a National that is over 90 years old can offer. The ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays and the maple neck with C-profile provide a comfortable playability, while the metal body produces that iconic bright, powerful resonator tone that National is so famous for. This National Triolian is a true museum piece that is also a fantastic playing guitar, perfect for the enthusiast looking for an authentic piece of American guitar history. Comes in a case with TFOA passport. Played by | Demo Gear: Ear Trumpet Labs Edwina Microphone

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
