Essentially, this is a list of
some
of the Royal
Guitars that were made..... that I have pictures of
or that I can
remember making.
This also includes some Serial Numbers and
History - where available.
The info below is 'as I can
remember it' - it may not be completely accurate.
(
There will be some 'large holes' with missing guitars in the info, here and there, so if you can fill
in any details, please let us know.)

We have 'no numbers' for these at all - and no pix !
