The National Resolectric Revolver is a fascinating instrument and lets you take the resophonic concept into any volume context. It looks great, it’s comfortable to play, and it sounds wonderful. The combination of P-90 and piezo makes it tonally very versatile.
This early Resolectric 2014-built model features a Jason Lollar P-90 pickup in the neck position, and a piezo transducer fitted under the saddle. Independent volume knobs control the output of each pickup, with a master volume knob to control the instrument’s overall output level. A 3-way toggle switch selects which pickups are active. The solid mahogany body is bound in ivoroid. The mahogany neck clears 14 frets to the body, highlighted with a diamond-inlaid, ebony fretboard.
It's in great but well-used condition, with some playwear to the body and binding; the finish has some wear in the usual spots, and there's some scratches on the back (see pic). The sound is awesome - it's surprisingly versatile, with sweet acoustic tones alongside raunchy blues sounds. Includes original hardshell case.
