Ben Watt's Resonators
23 October 2015
MY 2009 NATIONAL "The Mississippi delta was shining like a National guitar," sang Paul Simon, and here is mine shining for all its worth. The original blues guitar, Nationals went out of production for many years and the old ones were always coveted but of mixed quality. Mark Knopfler famously put a 1937 National on the cover of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms. But in recent years they have gone back into production. Many say they sound way better than before. The result is a whole new range of metal resonator guitars. I bought mine last year. It is a pre-owned 2009 National Style 'N' Reso-Phonic in 'German Silver'. It's not really silver. They just call it that. It's actually a nickel-played alloy. But it plays and sounds great. And I have just used it centrally on a track on my new album - the follow-up to Hendra - due out next Spring.
