Regal Resophonic

Just took delivery of my new Regal reso squareneck yesterday - nice piece. Does anyone know where they are manufactured? It reads "Regal San Francisco" on the headstock, but that doesn't mean anything.

Walter - It might help the experts on this forum if you could post some photos - I'm not one of the experts

If I'd only knew how to post a photo........

Walter Glockler · Post by **Walter Glockler** » 7 Oct 2009 6:50 am

Thanks Howard for the info. It also keeps me from finding out how to post a photo.

Oh no...Don't let me stop you

Walter - If you have trouble with posting photos you can email some directly to me at dbrooker@dbrooker.com and I'll post them for you - In the meantime if you do a search for "how to post photos" several of the members have posted step by step instructions several times on the forum - Hope this helps - DB

How to post pictures on the Steel Guitar Forum.

Currently Regal resonator guitars are manufactured in China and imported into the USA by Saga Musical Instruments of South San Francisco, California.

I'll study how to post pictures to be prepared in the future.
Thanks again.

Drag the pic onto your desktop from your photo library. It will show up on your desktop as something like a "Hurl" or IM00, or jpeg, with a number after. The last pic I loaded here was titled IM001302. I make a note of the number so it's easy to find later in the process.

Go to "Post a reply"

Click on "Upload picture"

A window will appear titled "The Steel Guitar Forum::Upload picture"

In the middle of that window you will see ""Select file" click that

Another window will open that lists whatever is on your desk top

Scroll down until you find your pictures title, in my case, it was IM001302.
Click twice on that title, and the desktop list will close and you'll be back to the "upload picture" window, but your pic file number will be where it said "Choose File" before

Wait a couple of minutes, cuz it takes a while to load, then Click "Send" in that window

The "Upload Picture" window will change. Your pic will be on it.

Click on "Insert picture" and you're done.

Before I click the "Submit" button under my posting, I click the "Preview" button just to make sure it's okay. This may sound complicated, but it's not! And once you do it once, you'll never have a problem again. The only snag I've ever had was trying to upload a pic that was just too durn big. Like 1640 by 1220, which I don't know how to adjust on a pc, or on a Mac for that matter! But you can do that in your photo application.

OK, here's my new reso and thanks John for the step-by-step instructions.

Walter Glockler · Post by **Walter Glockler** » 7 Oct 2009 10:25 am

Where's the pic - it showed in the preview?

John Billings · Post by **John Billings** » 7 Oct 2009 11:06 am

That's a durn good question! Let me post a pic and see if it comes up.

John Billings · Post by **John Billings** » 7 Oct 2009 11:08 am

Well,,, it worked for me. Did you "Insert as pic? Maybe try one of the other choices in that window?????

Finally.....

Now all we need is to hear you play it, Regal is generally well thought of I think.

Wlater - Your guitar looks a lot more purtty than that old guitar John put a photo up of - Hey, John, would you take $50.00 for that old guitar and you pay the shipping?

John Billings · Post by **John Billings** » 7 Oct 2009 12:58 pm

DB, it only cost $32 back in 1935! You sure ya wanna go that high for a used guitar? 1935 Dobro M-32. But I do have a Regal-made Dobro from '37.

Post by **Brad Bechtel** » 7 Oct 2009 1:10 pm

Walter,

I believe that's a recent model RD-65. Those are pretty good guitars from the little time I have had to play on one.

Walter - I said I'd go $50.00 and I'll keep my word and I'll even take both of them for $100.00 even, keep in mind you're paying the shipping - Where do I send the check

Walter Glockler · Post by **Walter Glockler** » 7 Oct 2009 2:36 pm

Brad - you're right it's a RD - 65 and it plays wonderfully, the string spacing is 2 1/4 compared to the 2 of my '82 dobro and I definitely prefer the wider spacing.
Dennis - for $50 I'll deliver to your door.

I have several Regal resophonics and they are good bang for the buck.

Donald Ruetenik · Post by **Donald Ruetenik** » 9 Oct 2009 1:10 pm

I have 3 all tuned differently (open G, C6th, E13). I reconed 2 with Quartermans. Like erv wrote, 'good bang for the buck'.
