Title: Score! 1930's F hole Regal
Post by: godofthunder on April 27, 2012, 04:33:33 AM

     I hit a estate sale yesterday morning, I stopped on my way to do some work at my wife's yoga studio. Upstairs siting on some suit cases is this GLEAMING 1930's Regal. It had the usual neck joint failure, a very easy fix so I tucked that bad boy under my arm and paid all of 60 bucks for it :) The finish is beautiful it just shines, I have never seen a cleaner one. It also came with the original case, a very old capo, picks and a guitar song book from 1930. I got her home fixed the neck and strung her up, beautiful midrangy tone. I'll post pictures asap.

If all it needs is a neck reset and a setup, you got a great deal.

Very cool.  Reminds me of the old Harmony I leaned to play on.
