I've bought this guitar secondhand about 12 years ago.Plays very well and sound brilliant.Comes with an "Accoustic Centre" hardshell case - just about the best accoustic guitar case I've seen.Here is the standard description:The Regal RC-2 Duolian has been a favorite with blues legends since it was first introduced in 1931. This modern version has been upgraded with a fully adjustable neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a 14th-fret neck joint. 15:1 ratio machine heads tune easily and securely. The rolled-in F-holes, coverplate, and tailpiece are true to the vintage original Duolian. The spun resonator cone with wooden biscuit bridge provides the amazing tone that has made this guitar a classic.The Duolian was a favorite with blues legends such as Son House, Bukka White, and Tampa Red when it first appeared in 1931, because it offered the volume and projection they needed while maintaining the tone they required. As its sound spread throughout the Delta more and more musicians turned to the Duolian, and it became the amplified guitar of the 1930s with its sharp attack and rapid decay. When the blues migrated from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, so did the Duolian. It became a staple of the south side Chicago blues scene in the '40s, '50s, and beyond.Features:Duolian-style nickel-plated steel bodySlim, comfortable Mahogany neckVintage Pearloid peghead overlayRosewood FingerboardMother Of Pearl dot position markersSpun resonator cone with wooden biscuit bridgeDie-cast 15:1 ratio sealed tuning machinedAdjustable truss rodNut width: 1 3/4"Scale length: 25"
