Music celeb Paul Simon named one of his solo anthologies, “Greatest Hits: Shining like a National Guitar,” after the famed instrument. The Blues infused Style O has a singular regional sound. With a shiny reflective finish, artistically smooth f-holes and a perforated cover plate, the enduring metallic design of the Style O is a stunning display of image and chronology, metal and wood in the form an iconic dreadnaught outline. There it is, the Style O, in all of its historical glory.
The “Complete Library of Congress Sessions, 1941 – 42,” from fire and brimstone breathing Bluesman Son House 2003’s all-star tribute collection, “Shout, Sister, Shout!,” in honor of the early ground breaker Memphis Minnie and the monster of 1985, which helped usher in the MTV era, “Brothers in Arms,” from Dire Straits, all feature a National Style O guitar in the album artwork. On the visual side, National’s six-string single cone classic has been spotted on a number of album covers from many notable musicians.
