All,
My first post but have been reading the forum for some time now. A couple of days ago I picked up a 1950s era Regal archtop and am trying to find some information about it. Seems to be in very good shape. Looking inside I can see "449" (model number I assume) printed where the neck joins the body. I can't find any reference to this number linked to Regal. Online I found a 1940s one that looks exactly like mine except it has a green Regal label on the headstock and mine is blue:

Once I figure out how to post photos I will show mine. I appreciate any assistance!
