| Subject: | [RESOGUIT-L] Early 1930's Regal-made Dobro guitar. Can we identify the date of manufacture please? | | Date: | Tuesday, October 30, 2007 18:37:07 (-0400) | | From: | George Rout <georout @......ca>

Hello folks. My first time on. I'm the Dobro player with a bluegrass
gospel group here in Niagara (peach picking country) known as the Peach
Pickers. You can see our website at http://thepeachpickers.com
My question is for a long-time-friend Dobro player in Nova Scotia who is not
"online" and maybe should be directed to Howard Parker.
He has a Dobro serial No. 179 which he believes was made by Regal under
lisence for Dobro as Regal did when the Dobro business was booming and Dobro
couldn't turn them out fast enough. I do not have any picture of the unit
yet, but here's the description as given to me by my Nova Scotia buddy:
It is a dark sunburst, Serial No. 179.
Solid headstock with regular Dobro logo. Has Chicago, Ill patent number.
There are no 3 holes at the end of the fingerboard.
Neck is a tapered neck, square but tapered at the body.
No binding down the neck.
Top & bottom of body has binding.
Can anybody please comment on the possible year of manufacture please.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
George Rout
St. Catharines, Ontario
