AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
Handcrafted in California, the National Raw Tricone Steel combines 1930s-inspired design with modern precision to deliver the unmistakable tone and feel that made National famous. Part of National’s acclaimed Raw Series, this instrument strips back unnecessary frills, offering a minimalist aesthetic and an authentically vintage voice for players seeking grit, power, and soul.
Featuring a steel body with a hand-applied wax finish, the Raw Tricone Steel develops a natural patina over time, giving each instrument a unique, timeworn character. Its maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth playability and refined sustain, while the classic TriCone T-bridge system produces that signature resonant shimmer and complex harmonic depth. With its bold, raspy tone and distinctive look, the Raw Tricone Steel is ideal for blues, slide, and roots musicians who want an instrument that feels alive in their hands.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument.
