2021 Recording King ROS-11 000-Size Guitar



This Recording King is basically brand-new. It has just the lightest pickwear at the soundhole and pickguard and just a hair of usewear throughout the body. The owner is just downsizing his herd so this one's here for resale even though it's so recent.

It specs-out and is shaped like a Martin 000-18 with an x-braced, solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, short scale length, and retro looks. Said retro looks are Gibson-inspired, though, with a nod to '30s L-00s and Kalamazoo models. Maybe because it's not quite either it looks more like a '30s Regal, though...?

Regardless, it's a nice guitar with fast handling and an even, folksy, balanced voice that does flatpicking and fingerpicking equally-well.

All I had to do was give it a light setup and it was ready to go.

Condition notes: it's essentially as-new with only the lightest playwear/usewear. Perhaps "lightly shopworn" would be a good description? It comes with factory electronics, too, which sound just fine. 


It comes with: a really nice hard case.
