The National Style 0 Resonator is an acoustic resonator guitar delivering bright, punchy tone with distinctive character. Its metal resonator cone provides suitable projection for slide and fingerstyle playing. The Style 0 remains iconic for resonator authenticity.
Peter Green owned an Ozark Resonator 3515BE, one of several resonator guitars in his collection alongside a 1931 National Duolian, and used it for slide guitar work distinct from the electric blues tone that made his reputation with Fleetwood Mac. As his career progressed he deliberately moved toward classical, African, and jazz influences to distance himself from straightforward blues, and resonator instruments like this Ozark fit that broader exploration, giving him the metallic, cutting slide voice a resonator's spun-aluminum cone produces, entirely different from the smooth, singing sustain of his Les Paul through a Matamp.
