Recording King Guitars are built on American tradition. Originally a house brand for Montgomery Ward, Recording King was developed during a truly golden age of craftsmanship. As a piece of American history, Recording King continues to cement its legacy. Hand-assembled with vintage designs, Recording King Guitars deliver the look, feel and sound of the classics, but with the unparalleled workmanship and features that modern players have come to expect. It is this dedication that has led Recording King to be a revered name in the guitar world. Recording King has always strived to craft guitars for players from all walks of life. Because of this, you can rest assured that you're going to find one that is perfect for you in this section. For example, say you're a beginner looking for an entry level dreadnought, be sure to check out the Dirty Thirties Dreadnought Solid Top. This dreadnought is inspired by the warm sounds of the open road and full of rich tone and amazing playability. With a solid Spruce top and rosewood fretboard, you won't believe the quality of this guitar.
If your focus is more on unrestricted access to the fretboard, you're going to find a lot to love about the Classic Series OOO Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar. With its cutaway body, you'll have no trouble exploring everything this guitar has to offer. Best of all, this guitar easily plugs in when you're looking to amp it up and perform in larger venues, making it a wonderfully versatile instrument for any artist.
Of course, if only the best of the best will do, the Studio Series 12 Fret O-Style Adirondack/Mahogany Acoustic Guitar is definitely going to be worth checking out. Designed in collaboration with Eric Schoenberg, this guitar is highlighted by its solid Adirondack spruce top. Delivering absolutely staggering tone, this guitar is perfect for finger style playing or strumming. If you're a serious player, you owe it to yourself to spend some time with this guitar.
Recording King Guitars are built for the long term. As much works of art as instruments, these guitars are meant to be handed down from generation to generation, carrying with them a rich musical tradition.
