'Tasteful tone! Prewar square neck dobro!"

Model number is unknown, but this is a square neck dobro, probably made by Regal in the 1930s.
It features a 3-segment f-hole, 12-fret neck, 4 dot markers, slotted head, and a fan cover plate marked "1896484 OTHER PATS PEND". The body material appears to be birch or maple, with white binding on the top and back of the body. There is no model listed for this specification in the data at hand. The tailpiece is a U-shaped piece with RADIO TONE stamped on it, but Regal also produced Radio Tone branded products at that time, so it is possible that this was the condition from the time of shipment.
There are some dings, scratches, paint chips, and chips on the neck and head, but they are commensurate with the age of the instrument. There was a gap between the neck and body when it was first received, which has been corrected, but the mark remains. The neck is bent forward, but has not been modified as it is a square neck. The pegs look to be genuine, but some of the shafts are curved. The overall turning comfort is not so good, but it is just about as good as it can be. A rubber ring has been retrofitted to the base of the end pin (it is sticking to the end pin due to age).
It comes with a chipboard case with a crocodile-skin-like exterior. At this time, there are no metal fittings or handles missing, but there is a tear that has been taped over, and unfortunately, it is not suitable for practical use.
The withered and tasteful tone is truly vintage. It has a mild and rustic sound that is not found in the more advanced resonator guitars of recent years.

Year of production: 1930s
Accessories: non-genuine chipboard case (damaged)

「味わい深いトーン!戦前製スクエア・ネック・ドブロ!」

型番は不明ですが、おそらく1930年代のリーガル製と思われるスクエア・ネック仕様のドブロです。
3セグメントのfホール、12フレット・ネック、4つのドット・マーカー、スロッテド・ヘッド、「1896484 OTHER PATS PEND」と記されたファン・カバー・プレートをフィーチャー。ボディ材はバーチもしくはメイプルと思われ、ボディのトップとバックに白のバインディングが施されています。このスペックに該当するモデルが手元の資料には記載がありませんでした。なおテール・ピースはRADIO TONEの刻印のあるコの字型の物となっておりますが、当時リーガルはラジオ・トーン・ブランドの製品も生産しており、出荷時からこの状態だった可能性があります。
打痕、引っ掻き傷、塗膜の欠け、ネックやヘッドの欠けが見られますが、年式相応と言えるでしょう。入荷時にネックとボディに隙間が発生していましたので修正をいたしましたが、痕は残っております。またネックは順反りした状態ですが、スクエア・ネックのため手を施しておりません。ペグは純正のようですが、一部の軸に湾曲があります。全体に回し心地が良いとは言えませんが、ぎりぎり実用に耐えています。エンド・ピンの根本にラバーのリングが後付けされています(経年変化によりエンド・ピンと固着しています)。
鰐皮風の外装のチップボード・ケースが付属します。現時点では、金具や取っ手に欠損はありませんが、破けた箇所がテープで止めてあり、残念ながら実用には向きません。
枯れた味わい深いトーンはまさにヴィンテージ。近年の進化したリゾネーター・ギターにはないマイルドで素朴なサウンドが魅力の一本。

製造年:1930年代
付属品:非純正チップボード・ケース(ダメージあり)
シリアル:なし
