The 2000s Regal RC-2 Duolian is a single-cone, metal-body resonator guitar heavily inspired by the iconic 1930s National Duolian. It is highly favored by roots, delta blues, and slide players for its sharp attack, rapid decay, and loud, metallic projection.
Key Specifications Body Material: Bell brass with high-gloss nickel plating. Resonator: 9.5-inch spun aluminum cone paired with a traditional wood biscuit-style bridge. Neck: Mahogany round neck with an adjustable truss rod, joining the body at the 14th fret. Fingerboard: Santos Rosewood (Pau Ferro) with 19 total frets and ABS dot inlays. Nut & Saddle: Bone nut (~1 3/4" width) and a rock maple saddle for optimal acoustic transmission. Scale Length: 25 inches. Hardware: Chrome-plated 15:1 ratio die-cast sealed tuners and a classic "colander pattern" cover plate.
The brass construction makes the guitar noticeably heavy (typically weighing around 9 lbs), but it rewards players with substantial volume, a warm midrange voice, and a punchy bite. The factory setup features a wide nut width that is highly accommodating for both traditional fingerstyle picking and bottleneck slide.
