This Wandering Boy Regal Flower was a custom build for its only owner, built by Jack Tarlinton in Sydney, Australia.
Jack builds his guitars in the style of the pre-war Oscar Schmidt Chicago-based guitar company, right down to the French Polish finish with some gentle relic treatment to replicate a guitar that has been largely kept in its case under the bed since the 1920s, All Jack’s guitars feature traditional ladder bracing which helps to reproduce the highly sought-after authentic blues tone of that period.
This guitar is ideal for someone looking for a traditional pre-war acoustic blues tone. The guitar is in excellent condition with its relic finish providing authenticity to the period in which it is intended to represent. The guitar includes a modern hardshell case.
