National NRP 14 in Antique Brass, USED

The National NRP 14 in Antique Brass is a stunning, modern rendition of National’s storied resonator guitars, cherished by blues, folk, and slide guitar enthusiasts. This 14-fret model, crafted from brass with an aged antique brass finish, delivers both striking visual appeal and exceptional tonal depth. The body construction adds a natural warmth and richness to the tone while retaining the distinctive resonator punch that National is known for. The antique finish also provides a unique, rustic aesthetic that emphasises the guitar’s vintage-inspired design.

Equipped with National’s distinctive single-cone resonator, the NRP 14 offers a powerful projection with complex overtones and excellent sustain, perfect for fingerstyle and slide playing alike. The cone’s responsiveness allows each note to ring out clearly, creating a dynamic range that is both nuanced and bold. The slightly shorter 14-fret design grants improved access to higher frets, making it ideal for expressive lead work and intricate blues phrasing.

The neck is carved from mahogany, adding stability and comfort for extended play, with a rosewood fretboard that is smooth and responsive. The “slim C” neck profile and 25” scale length offer a comfortable, familiar feel, making it easy to navigate, whether you’re working through rhythm sections or performing intricate solos. Vintage-style tuners enhance the traditional look while providing reliable tuning stability.

This guitar is a beautiful fusion of classic National design and modern craftsmanship. It is well-suited for players who crave authentic resonator tones and enjoy a vintage aesthetic with contemporary reliability. With its resonant, warm sound and rugged brass build, the National NRP 14 is a striking choice for blues, folk, and Americana musicians.
