National Reso-Phonic Delphi Matte Black 

Pre-Owned • Made in USA • Includes Hardshell Case

The National Reso-Phonic Delphi is one of the most distinctive and inspiring resonator guitars available today, delivering the unmistakable voice that has defined blues, roots, folk and Americana music for generations. This 2009 Delphi Matte Black is a stunning American-made instrument that combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with National's renowned craftsmanship and tone.

Built with a steel body finished in a striking matte black coating, the Delphi produces the powerful projection, rich overtones and unmistakable metallic character that only a true resonator can deliver. Whether played fingerstyle, with a flatpick, or in open tunings with a slide, this guitar offers a remarkably expressive and authentic voice.

At the heart of the instrument is National's legendary single-cone biscuit bridge resonator system, delivering impressive volume, exceptional note separation and the dry, punchy response that has made National guitars the benchmark for modern resonator performance.

The comfortable mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard and traditional appointments, while the steel body provides incredible sustain and a unique tonal character that stands apart from conventional acoustic guitars.

Equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as a collector's piece, the Delphi is a professional-grade instrument built for serious players seeking the unmistakable sound and feel of a premium National resonator.
