A Regenberg instrument goes beyond the attention of "Hand Made". Each instrument receives close personal attention and care throughout the production and setup process to insure a high performance, quality instrument. The design requires highly precise machining for the neck fitting, fret slot placement, parts, etc. Where handwork is too inconsistent to attain this type of precision we use precise cnc routing. Yet, a great deal of handwork is incorporated in each instrument. The marriage of precision equipment with "hand made" techniques allows us to attain the precision and consistency we require with the result that you will notice in your hands - an instrument with feel, an instrument that sings.
Made In The U.S.A.

The look and feel of a set-neck guitar is undeniable. Over the years we have made a lot of
set-neck guitars for other companies, well known for their quality of build. We spent a lot
of time evaluating these guitars and others over the years before we developed our set-neck designs.

We've made set-necks with different neck woods. The neck that stood out the most was made from maple. The low end and classic "set-neck" warmth remained but when you got more aggressive with picking the guitar had more attack and more bite in the high end. Plus the neck had a real nice feel, solid and for a lack of a better way to term it, instrumental feeling. The neck was also more resistant to bending out of tune like a standard mahogany neck. All of this we liked. However, we didn't like the look as much. The transition from the mahogany body to the maple neck did not look as good as mahogany to mahogany under the nice trasparent finishes. It lost the classic look. The solution was simple. Replace the heart of the mahogany neck with quartersawn maple and leave the visible "skin" as mahogany. The maple extends from the tip of the heel to the tip of the headstock, under the faceplate. We call this our MapleCore Neck. All the benefits with the classic look.
