Regent Parlor Guitar

Regent guitars were accessible mid-century instruments that fueled the folk boom — made for beginners and casual players seeking affordable, compact guitars. This example features the trapeze tailpiece and smaller body typical of the era’s “parlor” designs, valued for ease of play and comfort.

While Regent was not a high-end brand, these guitars carry strong nostalgic appeal and reflect the democratization of music-making in postwar America. Their value lies in vintage charm, authenticity, and the musical stories they hold.
