National Resolectric guitars....???

[Lewguitar]

Anyone tried one? I have a Highlander in my National Style O but it sounds like a tin can! I end up playing it through a microphone when I play out with it. Has anyone here tried one of the National Resolectrics with the P-90 pickup and the Highlander on the cone? Thanks! Lew

Here's one that's on Ebay but this one lacks the Highlander pickup on the cone...just has the P-90.

John McFee of the Doobie Bros. uses one of these for a couple of tunes in their live show, sounds great, but I have no idea how he has it hooked up.

Looks like a fun guitar to own. Pickups shouldn't be an issue, since you're pretty much hooked up. he he

Yeah...I could replace that P-90 with an Antiquity or something! I've been asked to join the band at Unity of Boulder though (nice band!) and I want to be able to play some slide. My resonators don't amplify that well...they are real feedback machines. :smack: Anyways, I'm looking for alternatives and the Resolectric seems to the only alternative that can be played loudly enough to be used with bass, drums, amplified keyboards and a full choir! I'll have to see if Kit at the Old Town Pickin' Parlour has one in stock...although I'd prefer a used one for half as much! :laugh2:
