Here for sale we have a Regal RC-58TT Tricone Resonator Guitar in Texas Tea finish. Made in China, this guitar consists of a Bell Brass body, a Mahogany body, and a 19-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Tricone Screen cover plate, a T-Bridge with an Ebony and Maple saddle, Open-Back tuners, and a Bell Brass tailpiece.
The Mahogany neck plays well, with a profile which might be described as a fairly wide 'C' shape. Whilst clearly aimed at the slide player, the profile is well suited to a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 16" radius is practical for both chordal and melodic playing styles. The smooth lines of the body are comfortable in the arms, with a reassuring weight to the body which provides a sense of dependability and substance to the playing experience.
The tone of the RC-58TT Tricone is unmistakably 'resonator', delivering those early blues sounds that we know and love. There is plenty of dynamic range on offer, rewarding gentle picking with a soft and intimate tone, whilst strumming more firmly delivers plenty of power to help you be heard over the rest of the band. The instrument's voice really shines through when playing delta blues styles with a slide, offering an authentic playing experience and tone, with powerful low end and singing mids. The voice is full-bodied, offering a wide and dynamic tonal range which is just as at home as a solo instrument as it is as part of an ensemble.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall very good condition, the front treble side edge demonstrates a chip to the finish revealing the wood beneath. The top edge demonstrates consistent light indentation that occasionally pierces the finish. The rear face demonstrates two instances of small chips revealing the finish beneath, and moderate "worming" of the finish where a sticker has been removed.
Neck: Overall very good condition, the rear of the neck demonstrates light indentation throughout the register which does not pierce the finish. The fingerboard demonstrates light playwear in the early register, and tooling marks beside the frets throughout.
Body: Overall very good condition, a chip to the finish is apparent to the bass side shoulder rear edge. It is difficult to discern other markings from the factory finish.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate moderate signs of use, not affecting playability. Some previous fret work is apparent where lifting frets have been secured in place, and then levelled to allow the notes to ring clear. There is moderate material remaining for future fret work.
