This old Regal was an orphan without a home and deserved a much better life than sitting in the corner alone and unplayed. Prior upgrades, including the K&K pickup, were a good start but a complete refresh brought this parlor guitar back to life. An adjustable truss, new radius’d fretboard and frets along with a low-action setup resulted in an easy playing, full sounding and fine looking vintage parlor.
SPECS: 0-size body, 12-fret neck with paddle headstock, ladder-braced solid spruce top, birch sides and back in red mahogany finish, poplar neck with adjustable truss rod, vintage Kluson tuning machines with new black buttons, Soft V neck profile, new radius’d rosewood fretboard with new medium frets, pyramid bridge with compensated saddle slot, MOP inlays, bone nut/saddle and ebony pins. Nut width: 1 3/4”, String Spacing: 2 3/16”, Scale length: 24”, Upper bout: 10”, Lower Bout: 13 1/4”, Body length: 17 3/4”, Widest body depth: 3 1/2”, Overall length: 36 1/4”, Neck thickness at 1st fret: 7/8“, Neck thickness at 5th fret: 15/16”, Action: 3/32”, string gauge setup: D’addario EJ26 custom light gauge in standard tuning.
CONDITION: Solid rebuilt condition with upgraded neck assembly to accommodate modern steel strings including neckset with added truss rod. Flared fretboard sides to maximize string spacing.
