The Tricone was invented almost 100 years ago by John Dopyera, and was the solution for guitarists looking for a louder guitar than the regular models available at the time.

​This Continental Style 1 Tricone comes from Munich, Germany, and is part of a series of guitars that were built in the early 90s. The guitar is a replica of the National Style 1 Tricone, which is the most basic model in the series without engraved decorations. With a body of nickel plated brass and three cones, this Continental offers the characteristic sound that you are looking for in a guitar like this!

The guitar had some problems with the neck connection when it arrived, but these have now been resolved. The guitar currently has a fairly high action, but this is of course no problem if you are going to use the guitar for slide! The piezo pickup ensures that the guitar can also be used amplified. Furthermore, this Continental has play marks on the body and a few dings on the neck.

Comes with TFOA passport in the original hardshell case.
