National Resolectric – From the Collection of Michael Landau!

This is an awesome and unique piece that comes to us from the collection of Michael Landau.

From National: Our Resolectric has gone through a few changes in its 25 years of production.  The current model uses a factory Lollar Firebird pickup in the neck position and a Fishman Nashville pickup in the bridge.  Our new buffered preamp allows blending between the two pickups.  The controls are as follows (starting with the closest to the headstock):  master volume, blend, master tone.  The preamp is powered by two 9-volt batteries located at the back of the instrument under the control plate  As of 2012, all Resolectrics come equipped with our standard neck-tilt feature.  This allows the action to be lowered or raised without re-slotting the bridge.  The adjustment screw is located through the fingerboard at the 21st fret. The solid mahogany body is capped with a figured maple top bound in ivoroid.  The figured maple neck clears 14 frets to the body, ebony fingerboard highlighted with mother of pearl position markers.
