The guitar is setup and ready to play. It sounds and plays great with no issues. The bridge is tight, the truss rod works, the fret ends are smooth and the action is 3/32" at the 12th fret. The guitar shows no use or wear. We found 6 of these in the back of our warehouse unsold from 10 years ago. We are a warranty service center and we did a great setup on this guitar so it plays well. The RPH-05 has all the makings of a parlor guitar, sporting a small body with a slightly elongated body. Its shape together with the regular sized soundhole makes it appear smaller than it actually is. The sunburst finish and overall vintage appearance also helps, giving it a convincing “blues box” look. Recording King builds the Dirty Thirties RPH-05 with a solid spruce top. This feature alone makes the guitar real and a true player. Supporting the solid spruce top are back and sides crafted from laminated “white wood”. White wood is a generic term that refers to pine and spruce type wood. A great choice for a small guitar tonally because it would emphasize the upper mids. Also, laminate back and sides offer reliable support to solid tops, ideal for workhorse instruments so you won’t have to worry much about humidity changes and bumps as you would on an all-solid instrument. The nato neck is topped by a rosewood fretboard, it has 20 frets and meets the guitar body at the 12 fret, another parlor guitar style feature. The nutwidth is 1.6875″, scale length is 25.4″ and the neck profile is described as “contemporary C” shape. Recording King model RPH-05 Parlor size acoustic guitar. This is a perfect first or kick around beach guitar. It is setup and plays great.
