Parabar Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Here's mine --- the pics aren't great, but the guitar sure is! It was previously owned by a pro jazz guitarist in San Francisco, who put the Tune-O-Matic bridge on it. I like how it sounds that way, so I don't plan to put another wooden bridge on it.

jmendoza Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Interesting to note the differences in C-Rams two Regents: F-hole shape and position, pick guard color and shape, plus position of Epsilon, Vine inlay on peg head, Bridge position relative to f-holes Both are very nice looking guitars. In response to your comment below about the necks, my main peeve is I'm not as comfortable with the 25-1/2 scale as due to my hand size. It's great for leads up above the 12th fret, but a 24-3/4" scale is easier for me to play. My neck is pretty thin, with an almost flat area on the back of it. I've heard that the F hole size affects the acoustic volume of the instrument. On my 1953 archtop Kay, it lacks a pick guard and has more treble response as a result.

C-RAM Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Astute observations, jmendoza! I think the sharper, wider f-holes are indicative of later model Regents; I would also bet that Epsilon placement is going to vary from guitar to guitar. Did you notice the tuner buttons? Unfortunately, the slim necks of these guitars are falling more and more out of favor with me - they're admittedly easy to fret, but I have archtops with substantially beefier necks, and my hands prefer those.

Sleeko Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Mine is a 1996 Peerless one, with yet a different configuration of controls on the pickguard: My blond '98 had this arrangement as well. Perhaps they overlapped in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
