Description   This metal-body Regal RC-1 resonator recalls the classic instruments of the 1930s with its pearloid peghead veneer, rolled-in F-holes, grey polychrome enamel finish, and spun 9-1/2" biscuit cone with spiral ridges for strength, volume, and tone. The RC-1 Polychrome Duolian has a slim neck with adjustable truss rod, rosewood fingerboard, and die-cast 15:1-ratio sealed tuning machines. The original was a bargain in the '30s, and the new Deco Duolian continues that tradition. The Duolian resonator was a favorite with blues legends such as Son House, Bukka White, and Tampa Red when it first appeared in 1931, because it offered the volume and projection they needed while maintaining the tone they required. As its sound spread throughout the Delta more and more musicians turned to the Duolian, and it became the amplified guitar of the 1930s with its sharp attack and rapid decay. When the blues migrated from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, so did the Duolian. It became a staple of the south side Chicago blues scene in the '40s, '50s, and beyond.   Regal RC-1 Duolian Resonator Guitar Features: Duolian-style steel body Beautiful gun-metal grey finish for that traditional look and style Slim, comfortable mahogany neck Vintage perloid peghead overlay Rosewood Fingerboard Mother-of-pearl dot position markers Spun resonator cone with wooden biscuit bridge Die-cast 15:1 ratio sealed tuning machined Adjustable truss rod 1 Year Warranty Read the Reviews!           Accessories for this product...

Regal Duolian March 6, 2009 Reviewer: myspace.com/ridintheblinds from Myrtle Creek, OR United States   Received the guitar yesterday, well-packed, and with strings slack for shipping.  Came out of the box in excellent condition, but with light acoustic strings.  Replaced these with .016-.056 resonator strings, tuned-up, and was thoroughly impressed.  Great tone, great feel.  If you're looking to play rough-and-ready Delta blues, this is the right guitar.  Just be ready to set it up for the heavier strings (slot the nut and bridge, adjust truss rod).  EXCELLENT guitar for the money, and they got it here quicker than I expected.  One note, though:  The photo shows the guitar as grey...but the coating is actually a much more appealing green.  Looks as good as it sounds.
