    Default Recording king acoustic

    I've had a go on one recently. It was a Ro126 I think and sounded great. Any views/opinions/advice on these guitars

    I didn't think they came with a electro acoustic option?

    Depends on model I suppose, I was talking RK guitars in general as being great quality.

    I just sold a RO-17, 'twas a good little guitar for the money, tidy build but not faultless (as you expect at this price point), and was a good fingerpicker but perhaps a bit boxy on the bass strings and strumming wise only liked it gentle. Tone fell on the vintage side of the tracks.

    Going off subject a bit but what do you guys say is a good all rounder then. I really don't want a dreadnought type style. The Martin 000 type/style is perfect for me .

    Any suggestions of makes I should be looking at?

    I doubt it, my acoustic requirements are fully met (3 is enough isnt it ?) and the budget is fully locked - ie empty !!! - if you havent ventured north up the A46, try a visit to Intersound in Dursley, now there I could loose control of the purse strings !!!!

    I know the feeling. However, they've just reduced the recording king by £100. Sorry to being that news to you. So when are you coming to bath?
