National Guitars Pioneer RP1

National Pioneer RP1

This incredible instrument is called the National Pioneer RP1 Metal Body Acoustic/Electric single cone resonator in chipped ivory finish. The National Pioneer RP1 is a new addition to the National line in 2017! This model uses an audiophile-quality Highlander preamp to mix both the magnetic and piezo electric pickups.

A Jason Lollar P-90 pickup sits in the neck position, and a Highlander piezo transducer is fitted under the saddle. The output of each pickup is controlled by independent volume knobs, with a master volume knob to control the instruments overall output level. A 3-way toggle switch selects which pickups are active.

The steel body is painted with a vintage inspired chipped Ivory finish. The figured maple neck clears 14 frets to the body, highlighted with a dot style inlay, and ebony fretboard.

The Lollar P90 in the neck has a fat, singing lead voice that is perfectly suited for slide players looking for the ultimate in classic Electric blues tones. The Piezo sounds like an acoustic national, only perfectly amplified. You have a myriad of tones at your fingertips, which makes it easy to switch between a preset rhythm and lead sounds. I do believe I'll dust my broom!
