  • No, Regal is the manufacturer...unless Saga is the parent company. Not sure.

  • Thanks...this is tuned to an open G on my old Regal Resonator.

  • if you dont mind me asking what brand reso is that? ive got a liberty lo100 that looks identical to it

  • My apologies for the late reply. It is a Regal RC-2 Resonator I paid about $500 for a few years ago. Nice guitar but I bought a new bisquit, the soft balsa bridge, over the sound hole to lower the action.

  • There is no rule that blues should be played slow.

  • well...

    it actually isn't a dobro. "Dobro" is a brand name made by Gibson. they're just commonly called this, kinda like tissues are referred to as kleenex.

    These are called Resophonic, or Resonator guitars, because of the metal resonator on them that produces it's bluesy tone.

    I'm not quite sure of the reason why Gibson named it "dobro" though.

  • @Keepsu Yes they do.

  • Saga makes Regal Resonators, no?

  • Love your style man! keep it up!

  • @phmancus The name "DoBro" comes from the DOpyera BROthers (there were 5 of them) who stuck a hubcap on a guitar and made a sound unlike anything else on the planet. In their native language dobro meant "goodness" and one of their sales pitches said, "Dobro means goodness in any language".

    Dobros are usually tuned in a Slack Key (for Hawaiian music) or in Open D or G and played with a slide, like a standard Flattop or steel guitar. Gibson bought Dobro rights in the 1990s I think.

  • what tuning on this instrument?
