Pre-war Regal Parlor Guitar

Pre-war Regal 0-size, 12-fret in ladder-braced solid birch with slotted headstock, rosewood board and bridge, bone nut and saddle, original tailpiece and f-hole design. Making this extra cool are the F holes on the front... pretty rare for a flat-top guitar. Steve Chipman did a great job of restoring this baby.

36 3/4" height
1 3/4" nut width
25" full scale
13" lower bout
9 1/4" upper bout
3/32" string height at 12th fret
V neck but not chunky

What it sounds like:

Improvised blues in E

Improvised blues in A

Here is the original Regal decal, green which indicates the guitar was built just prior to the war.

Original tuners work just fine.

The neck meets the body between the 11th and 12 frets, just like the National Resonators did of the same time period.

A fully compensated nut saddle and rosewood bridge has been installed

At one point there must have been a pickguard.

A small crack at the top of both of the F holes had been completely stable

These two cracks have been repaired and are stable

Comes with a period correct chipboard case.
