Description
The legendary Duolian is back, better than ever with the Regal RC-2. This single-cone, steel-body Duolian has been a favorite with blues legends since its first appearance in 1931. The Regal Duolians upgrades include a fully adjustable neck, a rosewood fingerboard and a 14th-fret neck joint.
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.
