Bill mentioned the Regal R-220 guitar once in a old thread. It's one of the many Baldwin clones, just like the Fender F-1040, Harmony H-173, Harmony H-174, Harmony H-177 and several Silvertones. This one has a high starting price in my opinion.
Regal R-220 for sale

Yes sir....definately a clone. That bridge is kinda funky.

With the exeption of that bridge, it IS identical to the Harmony H174. If you can get the action down low enough, it would be great for a Reed guitar. But It's awfully hard to find one of those cheap Harmony/Baldwin/Regal guitars with a straight neck at the right angle to allow for a real low action. I had one of these Regal R220's for a while a couple years ago, but it wasn't a very good one (only paid 50 bucks on Ebay though, so it was worth a try).
