2010s Regal RD-30 Roundneck Dobro-style Resonator Guitar
Overview: I'm pretty sure this is a garden-variety Regal RD-30 resonator guitar. It's essentially their interpretation of an old-style, roundneck Dobro and even has the slightly squarer shoulders of the brand. This is a decent-grade, student import guitar and, post-work, plays great and has the classic, warm-but-burred, slightly honky sound this style of resonator is known for. The only thing holding it back at all is the factory cone, which is a little overbuilt, but as you can hear in the video -- it still sounds good!
Repairs included: Jacobi gave this a level/dress of the frets and a setup as well as some fussing with the cone and saddle. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
