2000s Regal RD-3 12-Fret Biscuit-Bridge Resonator Guitar

This 12-fret, long-f-holes, wood-body resonator guitar has no branding at the headstock but it was a Regal-branded guitar (RD-3 model) when it was built. It's a Korean-made instrument.

It's well-built despite the usual thick, glossy, import-style finish. The neck is comfy, it's been stable as long as I've known it, and it's fuller-sounding and has more oomph than your average import of these specs -- probably because of all that airspace and it's Duolian-but-wood body shape.

Condition notes: it has mild usewear throughout and small bumps and dings here and there, but overall it looks pretty decent. The headstock's face had to be recolored and resprayed because the owner had fit a  replacement Regal decal on it and then we hit it with a shot of finish to seal it... which reacted with the original finish... and thus needed to be tidied-up. It's not too obvious. The hardware has all aged a bit -- especially the nickel of the resonator coverplate and tailpiece.
