Recording King has introduced the RK Standard Series, a line of all-solid acoustic guitars built with traditional pre-war stylings. According to Premier Guitar, the instruments are designed to be open, resonant and responsive across playing styles, from heavy pick attack to fingerstyle.
Premier Guitar reports that every RK Standard model is thermo-cured for improved stability, clarity and tone. Construction options include solid AA North American Sitka spruce, solid African mahogany and solid East Indian rosewood. Features include polished bullet-end frets, hand-selected rosewood fingerboards, slim tapered necks, VFA1 forward-shifted scalloped bracing and a low-gloss finish with a silk-like sheen. Real abalone inlays, slim bindings and small pre-war-style tuner bushings complete the classic aesthetic.
The series is available in Dreadnought, OM, L-00 and 000 12-fret body shapes. Dreadnought models include the D60, D60 Burst, D70H and D70H Burst. OM models include the OM60, OM60 Burst, OM70H and OM70H Burst. The 000 12-fret lineup includes the 00060, 00066 all-mahogany and 0070H. L-00 Bluesmaster models include the BM60 in multiple burst finishes, BM70 and BM70 Blacktop. Each instrument ships with a deluxe 25mm gig bag.
Premier Guitar notes that the series continues Recording King’s brand revitalization under St. Louis Music. Street prices range from $749.99 to $999.99, with burst finishes adding $50 and rosewood construction adding $200.
