'59 Regal- Gutty tone and rich & woody.

Original DeArmond pickup!

In 1959, most Regal models were made in Chicago by Harmony.

This '59 Regal R-270 came to us in impressive playable condition. It looks like a variety of bridges have been used over the years, but it is currently set up with a proper rosewood archtop bridge. Because of that, it packs acoustic resonance and archtop tone, but the thinline body is a bit more comfortable. The dynamic and acoustic feel translates nicely into the tone plugged-in. 

Over the years, the nut has been replaced, but the original tuners are in place, and they still hold tune nicely. The pickguard looks to have been cracked and damaged along the fingerboard edge, but it has been repaired, looks neat, and doesn't get in the way. The neck is in good shape, and it plays well with good action up and down the fingerboard. This '59 R-270 Meteor includes a hardshell case.
