The Regal RD-56 Artist Series Roundneck Resophonic Guitar brings a fresh twist to the classic Black Lightning design. Featuring a sleek translucent black finish and all-mahogany construction, this visually striking guitar delivers warm, resonant tone with superb projection. Its 12-fret neck joint and contoured roundneck make it a standout for blues, ragtime, and fingerstyle players looking for vintage vibe with modern comfort.

Equipped with a maple trapezoid sound well, patented spider bridge, and US-made aluminum cone, the RD-56 produces crisp, articulate tone that's rich with vintage character. Its smooth-playing fingerboard, 1 3/4" nut width, and stylish art deco peghead inlay make this a compelling option for players who demand both looks and performance in a resonator.
