I have the opportunity to purchase a Regal resonator tenor guitar. I have not seen it yet, just pictures but it appears to be an old one. A friend of a friend inherited it from his uncle, he doesn't play and is looking to sell it. He has no concept of value and neither do I. Any ideas on how to date this and determine a value. I am thinking of taking it to a shop. I'm in the Toronto area so probably The 12th Fret.
I know nothing about resonators other than the cone and biscuit is a big deal and if they are buggered it is trouble. What should I be looking for when inspecting this instrument. I know the usual stuff but I have never bought a vintage instrument before and as I said previously I've never touched a resonator.
Thanks for your help
