Folk of the Wood presents Regal Resonator Guitars The Black Lightning Regal RD-52 Squareneck Model Retails: 895.00 Current Sale Price: 671.00 SQUARENECK DOBRO FEATURES REGAL RD-52 DOBRO “BLACK LIGHTNING” RD-52: Dobro “Black Lightning” Guitar Mahogany top Mahogany back and sides Translucent black finish 25” scale length Ebony fingerboard Quarterman QD-1 Res-O-Cone Classic Pre-War 12th fret neck body joint with stinger Nickel-plated butterbean style tuners Original Black Lightning peghead design Shop-adjusted There’s never been another Dobro like it — it’s an unprecedented value with a style all it’s own! Inspired by a hit bluegrass song, this beautiful instrument features an original pearl peghead design that outclasses anything at three times the price! That’s just what you’d pay for any other Dobro with comparable features, such as Quarterman cone, old-style sound well with parallelogram openings, correct “California” body shape and squareneck dimensions, the list goes on and on. The new RD-52 is the equal of any professional-grade Dobro made — and yet is priced within the reach of the serious student. The fingerboard is select ebony and the entire guitar is finished in a translucent black high gloss. The body and neck are mahogany and the neck joins the body at the twelfth fret with the traditional interior extension. The scale is the traditional 25” and the nickel-plated butterbean tuners complete the vintage look of this modern classic. Each RD-52 is fully shop-adjusted and approved before shipment. We believe the new Regal RD-52 Black Lightning is the greatest value ever offered in a Dobro guitar — and when you get one in your hands — you will too! The Regal Story Regal dobros have been favorites since the early 1930's. The first production took place in Chicago, and by 1937 Regal had taken over exclusive right as the manufacture of dobros. During the Second world War, production ceased as factories were converted to manufacture essential war time products. Regal dobros were reintroduced by Saga in 1987, and have regained a position of leadership in the world wide resophonic guitar market. With one foot firmly in the past, we are carrying the Regal tradition into the future. Improved finishing techniques now allow our instruments to look every bit as good a as they sound.
