Chinnari Pellikuthuru Serial In Hindi All Episodes. Hey Zach, My father recently passed away and left me his guitar that he had for many, many years. It’s a chrome guitar with National on the headstock and no other information that I can find. Towerpro 40a Esc Programming. I’m a guitarist, but having grown up in the 1960s, I’ve always played electrics and know little about these resonators.
Can you tell me what I have and what it is worth today? Thanks, Jeff in Pensacola, Florida This Style 1 tricone from National is one of the earliest examples of a resonator guitar and “guitar amplification.” It was designed to be loud enough to compete with other instruments in a band setting or patrons in a noisy juke joint. One can date tricone resonators from this era via the serial number, which is normally located at the top of the headstock or stamped into the body near the endpin. Hey Jeff, Cool guitar. This makes me want to get the old bluegrass band back together! Resonators are great, niche instruments that were ahead of their time for a brief period in history. Before the electric guitar and amplifier were invented, the only other way to make the sound of a guitar louder was to make the instrument physically bigger.
So the resonator—though it didn’t involve any electronics—really was the first version of guitar amplification. Let’s touch briefly on the history of National. In the early 1920s, brothers John and Rudy Dopyera started building banjos in Southern California. That’s when guitarist George Beauchamp approached the duo to solve his volume problem: His guitar couldn’t be heard over the other instruments in the vaudeville orchestra he was playing in. The idea came to the brothers to put aluminum resonators in guitar bodies to amplify the sound, and soon after, both the resonator guitar and National brand were born. John Dopyera left National in 1929 to start his own company called Dobro with his other brothers.
