On C.W. Stoneking's website, Stoneking says of his Style 1 Tricone guitar, "I purchased the Tricone ‘replicon’ in New York City shortly after losing my old 33 model Dobro in a NYC Yellow Cab, this guitar has a nickel-plated brass body and some cool vintage looking features, it also has an artifically aged finish, meaning that the folks at National make a perfect, shining, Style 1 Tricone and then do bad things to it to cram 70 years of wear into it, this guitar has made a few rounds with me now and has quite a bit more wear than it did before. This guitar is the one pictured on the front of the Jungle Blues album."
