The 1988 Regal Dobro Model 37 captures the classic resonator sound that has been a staple of bluegrass, country, and roots music for decades. In Good Condition, there are several dings on the top, heavy scratching on back and sides, and some finish chipping around the binding, but nothing you wouldn't expect on a player's instrument. Built with a mahogany body and traditional soundwell construction, this guitar delivers the dry, punchy tone and strong projection that players expect from a spider bridge resonator. It has a focused low end, clear mids, and that unmistakable metallic edge that helps it cut through a mix with ease.

This instrument stays true to the traditional Dobro design, featuring a deep body and spider bridge system that gives it a strong, direct response. Whether played with a slide in lap style or approached more like a standard guitar, it offers the kind of character and presence that makes resonators so unique. The sunburst finish and vintage styling add to its classic appeal.

This example is equipped with a John Pearse pickup that has been externally mounted to the instrument. This setup provides added amplification capability for live performance while maintaining the original construction of the guitar. For players looking for an affordable vintage resonator with authentic tone and the ability to plug in, this Model 37 offers a unique and practical option.
