About Regal
Since their debut in the 1930s, Regal Resophonic Guitars have earned a place of honor among professional musicians and collectors worldwide. Vintage models are rare due to WWII-era production changes, making originals nearly impossible to find. To meet ongoing demand, Saga and Regal now craft new versions of the classic Resophonic designs that helped define early Jazz, Blues, Ragtime, and Hawaiian music.

Regal Studio Resophonic Guitars are the last word in quality, affordability and VALUE!

They revolutionized guitar design and became a favorite among Ragtime, Jazz, and Blues musicians. Their powerful tone and iconic look continue to make them a top choice for soloists and collectors alike.
