Recording King RO-328 All-Solid 000 Acoustic Guitar with optional

If you have never owned an Adirondack solid top guitar you are in for a major treat. On top of that, this top was aged for 30 years before being built into this guitar. What foresight on the part of Recording King! Now we benefit from an incredibly sounding, playing, and affordable 000 acoustic. Martin must be very worried!

Thank you for looking! Three reviews: by Aug 26, 2022 A Fine Guitar at a price that can't be matched These are fine guitars, amazing that you can get a solid wood naturally aged Adirondack Red Spruce top with solid E.I Rosewood at such a reasonable price. I wonder how long they will be able to sell them at prices 1/4 or less then the big name brands. Fit and finish of this guitar was excellent as was the set-up with low action all the way up the fretboard and plenty of saddle extension. Rated 5/5
Amazing Value
These vintage styled Recording King guitar models (RD-318 [Dreadnought], RO-318 [OOO], RD-328, and RO-328 models) might just be the best value in acoustic guitars today. Can you even imagine finding a OOO or dreadnought (D18 or D28) model with Adirondack/Rosewood for under a grand? It's unheard of! Sorry, but I can't afford to pay 3x as much for the name! This guitar sings with sustain and lush overtones just as I'd hoped for. The neck and frets are great, and I love the vintage open gear tuners. They do stay in tune. The guitar neck does have a vintage V shape to it, but it's easy to play and smooth. This thing sounded perfect out of the box. I'm very glad that I made this purchase!

Scratches the Martin itch
As i was in the market for a new guitar, I started shopping around. I pretty much had a Martin in mind, and was prepared to pay the martin price tag . And then i stumbled across a video by J.P. Cormier on YouTube. He had high praise for the RK guitars. So then i started looking around more for reviews from others and they all seemed to love them. I have always had dreadnoughts and figured id like to try a 000 body guitar so I went with the RO328. And I gotta say, I love this thing. This is my first venture into a solid rosewood back and sides and I couldnt be happier. The fit and finish is great. It plays well and I am really digging the V neck after just a few hours of playing. And the tone, unbelievable. I dont care if it costs $300 or $3000 it just sounds amazing. It just has the tone and feel of a vintage high end instrument. And it projects surprisingly well for its size, as well. I like it so much I just ordered the RD328 too. You cant go wrong with this one.
