Thanks Cagey! If I may ask, is your winning guitar a Regal model? Gorgeous instrument you got there my friend! Thanks for any info anyone can share about the real difference between Regal and Royal designs/makes/models. I have one Royale and I am fully satisfied but now want to do one more similar model and figured I'd take a short time to decide between Regal and Royale. Like I said, that green guitar is beautiful!
Thanks! That's not a Regal, it's a Warmoth copy of a Gibson L5S body that I modified a bit to suit me. It originally was drilled for a TOM/STP bridge, dual volume and tone controls with the pickup selector down in the control area. I plugged all the holes with dowel and redrilled for the Bigsby and a single volume/tone, then moved the selector to the upper bout. It's reasonably documented here, if you want to see how it came to life.
Does anyone have further information between differences between the Regal and Royale models? I'm looking at building one or the other and would appreciate any recommendations and info.
Thanks!
The Regal is a spin on the traditional LP style. The Royale is another variation on that theme, with similar construction. It's more similar to the Regal than the old VW style.
