Regal “Buck Jones" true parlor 12-fret in ladder-braced spruce/birch, 1 3/4” nut, 2 1/4” string spacing, perfect fingerstyle companion to your larger body acoustic stable
022826A
Regal built stout guitar models at affordable prices for young followers of early radio personalities. The “Buck Jones” model was one of many stenciled cowboy guitars sold in 1930s department stores. With a few modern upgrades (and despite the lower bout of only 12” across) I’m pleased to offer this sweet sounding, easy playing, small body steel string for your consideration. A great little fingerstyle guitar, plain and simple.
SPECS: true parlor-size body, 12-fret neck with paddle headstock, ladder-braced book matched spruce top in aged finish, birch sides and back in tobacco brown finish, poplar neck in tobacco brown lacquer finish, modern adjustable truss rod, MOP fretboard inlays with corresponding side dots, period vintage tuning machines, “C” neck profile, new radius’d rosewood fretboard with new medium frets, new rosewood pyramid bridge, cream binding on top, unbleached bone nut, saddle and pins. Nut width: 1 3/4”, String Spacing: 2 1/4”, Scale length: 25”, Upper bout: 8 1/2”, Lower Bout: 12”, Body length: 18 1/4”, Widest body depth: 3 7/8”, Overall length: 37 1/4”, Neck thickness at 1st fret: 3/4“, Neck thickness at 5th fret: 13/16”, Action: 3/32” - 1/8” to customer choice, setup for extra light to custom light gauge in standard tuning, customer choice.
CONDITION: Completely rebuild to modern standard for structure and playability. Upgraded top and neck from repurposed materials. Relic finish on rim and neck. Please note that repurposed woods and vintage surfaces will have underlying swirls, scrapes, scratches, bumps and bruises.
SOUND: Punchy, resonant tone with a nice sustain. Not the loudest guitar in the shop but its voice is definitely robust for a parlor this size. Really shines as a fingerstyle guitar. Destined to be a recording studio staple. The setup can be adjusted, within reason, to suit your playing style and most alternate tunings.
