Regal's RD-40B roundneck resophonic brings vintage-era design philosophy to a modern production platform. Built on a California-style body with spruce top and mahogany back/sides, the instrument centres its acoustic character around three proprietary systems: the Power Reflex Tone Chamber, DP-126 die-cast spider, and US-manufactured hand-spun aluminium cone. These components work in tandem to generate articulate, resonant tone across dynamic playing contexts.
Construction specifics underscore the RD-40B's approach to traditional resophonic voicing. The 25-inch scale neck is mahogany with a round profile, fitted with 19 total frets (14 clear of the body) and a bone nut measuring 1 11/16 inches. Vintage-style open-back butterbean tuners with nickel plating handle tuning stability, whilst the spun aluminium resonator cone pairs with an aluminium spider bridge for crisp, bell-like articulation. Ivoroid binding, mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and floral abalone peghead overlay finish a high-gloss black body.
The roundneck configuration removes fingerpicking constraints inherent to square-neck designs, broadening the RD-40B's appeal across fingerstyle, rhythm, and slide applications. Players accustomed to conventional acoustic neck geometry transition readily to its contoured mahogany profile and screened-ring soundhole, whilst the instrument's resonant architecture delivers the percussive, articulate character expected from resophonic instruments without the volume penalties of budget alternatives.
