Tricone Resonator Guitar – The Power of Three


The Tricone Resonator Guitar features three resonating cones, offering a fuller, richer tone compared to its single cone counterpart. This design creates a balanced, complex sound with greater volume and sustain, making it ideal for slide guitar players and those seeking a dynamic range of tones.


First introduced in the 1920s by the National Guitar Company, the Tricone’s distinctive sound made it a favorite for early blues, Hawaiian, and jazz musicians. The three cones work together to produce a brighter, more nuanced tone, with added warmth and depth that can be heard across genres.


Perfect for musicians who demand versatility and powerful resonance, the Tricone Resonator Guitar continues to be celebrated for its unique tonal qualities, blending tradition and innovation in one iconic instrument.
