Overview
Players who like small bodied, vintage style guitars get this small bodied Recording King, with a spruce top under a tobacco sunburst finish and checkerboard binding. Cross Lap bracing and a bone nut and saddle help it punch above its size.
Vintage character in a small, light body is the case, suiting blues, folk and porch picking. Ivory button tuners and stenciled markers add to the period look. Whitewood back and sides are a modest choice of tonewood.
Who it's for
Fingerstyle and blues players, couch players and anyone who likes a vintage look. Players needing to plug in or wanting dreadnought power should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Small, light body
- Bone nut and saddle
- Vintage checkerboard binding
- Whitewood back and sides
- Less bass than larger bodies
Performance notes
A small body favors midrange punch and quick response over deep bass. Bone at the nut and saddle passes string energy to the top efficiently. The bracing pattern lets the spruce top move for volume despite the size.
