Recording King Series 11 14th Fret 000 w/Fishman Sonitone Pickup (ROS-11-FE3-TBR)

There are very few acoustic guitars in this price range (under $500) that have a relatively short scale (less than 25") and a 1.75" nut width. In fact this is the only guitar I could find with these two features! These features were my main criteria for ordering this instrument. That it comes with built-in pickup was simply a bonus. I have a great high-end acoustic guitar that is my primary axe. Does this guitar sound as good? No. But for the price it sounds pretty doggone good. The guitar had excellent set-up right out of the box and plays comfortably.

This is a great price for an all solid wood guitar especially when you consider the tonewoods being used. However, the neck was absolutely horrible! Buzzing everywhere especially past the 7th frets. The volume... well lets just say it's very faint. My recording king RP2-626-C, which is a 00 body, has so much more volume, dynamics, sustain and clarity. I am just very happy that the seller, Chicago Music Exchange, approved my return or else I would of been stuck with a guitar that would of just gathered dust in my collection. I will send this guitar back tomorrow when the post office opens.
