Regal Guitar Serial Numbers

Here we'll discuss such matters as dobro serial numbers, the value of pre-war. Regal guitars had a slightly deeper body and headstocks that were either solid. This piece of history is an old Harmony/Regal Stella-type parlor guitar, with all solid birch wood, ladder bracing, and sunburst finish. The serial numbers are.

1967-1974 OMI Dobro: 101 - 401 1967-1970 402 - 712 1971 713 - 1427 1972 1428 - 2296 1973 2297 - 2372 early 1974 1974-1979 OMI Dobro: Y (#)### D configuration. Y is last digit of the year (if this number is '3' it is actually 1974). 3 or 4 numerals in center are instrument ranking for year starting with 101. D is body type: D=wood, B=brass, M=steel or mandolin.

Could maybe fit if body code could be first character? But then there are too many number characters. 1980-1988 OMI Dobro: 8 (#)### yD configuration. 8 is the decade of manufacture (8=1980s). 2 or 3 or 4 numerals in center are serial number for year. Numeral y before letter is last digit of year.

Last character is body type: D=wood, B=metal. Doesnt fit because the body type character is first.

1988-1994 OMI Dobro: A# #### yyD configuration. First letter (and numeral) is style. Numerals in center are instrument ranking. Yy is last two digits of year. Last character is body type: D=wood, B=metal, H=Hounddog, P=solid peghead. Doesnt fit because the body type character is first (D style) and because the year would be 96, outside of the '88-94 code. 1995-1997 OMI Dobro: A(A) (x)xxx yy configuration.

First letters are style. Numerals in center are instrument ranking. Yy is last two digits of year year.

Doesnt fit because the first 2 arent letters, there is a letter then a number 1998-current Gibson Dobro: 8 digits ymmddrry configuration First y is last digit of year. Mm is month dd is day rr is rank last y is decade. I'm having trouble decoding the serial number on my dobro. I'm wondering the year. Its a d style, wood body.

Some codes i've seen say the last 2 are year digits, but the guy i bought it from said he bought it new in the 80s. This serial number doesnt conform to the 80s code either.

Any help is appreciated. I'm pretty sure the 96 is the year it was made. The 073 is the 73 one made in the D5 series. 1-800 4 GIBSON can confirm this. Customer service is open 24/7. This one will be easy if it's a 96 model, Gibson bought OMI in about 93-94 OMI guitars the last letter was either a D=wood, B=metal, H=Hounddog, or P=solid peghead First letters are style.

Numerals in center are instrument ranking. Yy is last two digits of year year. So yours is a D5 series, the 73rd one made for that year of 1996.

I think the guy is lying to ya and a 5 in the D5 might even be a coded model #. Pretty much what Mikeo says, the Dobro name was bought by OMI and then Gibson (or maybe different order). Besides the Hound Dog I don't think Gibson is doing much with the brand today but it would be worth checking with them. I know that older Dobro serial numbers are a bit of a can of worms to find anything out about them.

I happen to own a 1932 and a 1980 OMI Duolian. Most traditional dobros were spider bridge and had 12 frets but they did make a few biscuits and 14 fretters. Also most dobros were woodies but again, they built a few metal bodies. We tend to thing of National and NRP as the manufacturer of metal bodies biscuits but obviously yours is the exception. There are a couple of resonator specific discussion forums - here is one and you might contact the guy who runs this site.
