Reso gurus, please school me on wood-bodied Nationals
I'm intrigued by the wood-bodied single-cone Nationals, because they seem to sound more mellow than their brass and steel counterparts.
For you National aficionados, what are the tonal differences between the M-2, Trovador, Estralita, and wood-body Triolians?

Go to youtube and look up National Resophonics youtube channel,
They have great demo videos of different models by some stellar players, Mike Dowling talks about some of the tonal differences between models in his demo videos. National builds great resophonic guitars!

I can't give you a comparison but I really enjoy my Estralita for what I play. I do admit that I enjoy a good tricone and have not be been put off by the steel body.

I have a wood-bodied 14-fret National M14 which has a bark which would frighten burglars.
I have been meaning to sell it for quite some time, I must get round to putting it up on Ebay ...

I'm no guru but I own a Radiotone Bendaway model which made of maple as opposed to the other wood bodied models which (I think) are made from mahogany. My Radiotone does seem a bit warmer when compared to the Delhpi I used to own but, like most good guitars, much depends on the player and how they play. A quality reso is more versatile than lots of people think.
