I have been posting weekly videos of rare instruments featured in my recent book, and I thought someone might want to check out this circa 1930 Regal Hawyofone Guitar. Cool looking, lightly built, all mahogany, ladder-braced, Hawaiian lap steel guitar with a floral decal on top and traditional rope binding. Fairly short 24 ¼” scale with surprisingly nice tone. Body shape is somewhat like the more oft’ seen Regal Octofone only with an added upper bout.
