"The tricone resonator guitar, as pioneered by National, has one of the most richly complex sounds of any acoustic guitar, since several different elements contribute to that sound. As a player of National tricones for nearly 40 years, I can tell you that amplifying an instrument with such tonal complexity is a real challenge. It has been nearly impossible to capture the tricone's unique sonic colors. There has never been a proper or even workable solution UNTIL NOW!
The Highlander Magnophonic pickup and its installation method have been carefully designed by Bob Wolstein of Highlander in tandem with Don Young and McGreggor Gaines of National Reso-Phonic. The result of this thoughtful development is staggeringly accurate, highly musical and I feel confident using this system on any stage or studio in the world. Thank you Highlander for finding a solution! May the gratitude of tricone players everywhere resonate around the world."

Inspired by the unique structure of the Tricone, the Magnophonic has three main components: a Pickup that mounts on the pan, a Matching Preamplifier that is attached to the neck stick inside of the Tricone and a small, light-weight 'Diaphragm' that clips onto the underside of the 'T Bridge'. Any movement of the 'T Bridge' vibrates the diaphragm, which in turn generates an electronic signal in the Pickup. The Pickup signal is amplified by the Preamplifier to bring it up to 'regular guitar level'.
