Way back when, as in the 1930’s back when, Recording King began as the house brand under American icon Montgomerey Ward. Vintage designs are carried to this day, giving these instruments the classic look and feel of earlier 20th century Americana folk and blues genres. And the sounds and tones are happening too, naturally!
Wow! As if a dialed-in dreadnought with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid rosewood wasn’t already enough, the spruce top has been aged 30 years! Power and volume from the dreadnought shape, warmth and vibrancy from the aged Adirondack spruce tree. Complete with a case for under $800.00, we’re all in.
Style in the small body! Solid spruce top, tortoise shell binding and rosette. Mahogany back and sides and a bone nut make this a fabulously priced 12-fretter. Recording! King!
A rare 12-fret cut away, small bodied single 0 with a solid Adirondack Spruce torrified top and a dreadnought scale? Yes please! Torrefaction is the treatment of wood to simulate aging from years of playing, and really does make a difference! But don’t take our word for it, take a few minutes to listen to the difference at the Recording King video here. Or better yet, just come on down and play it yourself!
Art Deco Skyscrapers. Steampunk Style. Nickel-Brass Bliss. Whatever you like to call it, call it amazing! This tricone nickel-plated resonator is so big and full sounding, you’ll only want to play folk blues for the rest of your life. And that’s the way to live.
All mahogany rattlesnake resonator. Is there a better name for a beautiful folk blues guitar like this?
