Circa 1920s Regal parlor rebuild. Classic floral decal and typical period Regal colored marquetry. Fancy Pearloid fingerboard.   Fancy gold sparkle headstock veneer. Rebuilt by Dan Lambert to enhance its full potential while maintaining as much vintage originality as possible. Deep vintage neck with a soft "V" profile. Poplar neck. A rosewood veneer was placed under the original pearled fingerboard for added rigidity.  Two ebony strips were added to either side of the fretboard.   New frets, new bone nut, new bone saddle, new Ebony belly bridge, new carbon reinforcement rod in newly re-set neck, ladder bracing rebuilt for improved tone and stability using as much of original wood as possible. A few repaired top/back cracks. Original tuners. 3 7/8" deep at end pin. Chipboard case.
