Dark mahogany body, tortoise binding, and American craftsmanship for a great price.
The Recording King ROS-606 Acoustic Guitar shares the same classic 12th Fret 000 design as other Century
Series guitars, but it's crafted with a solid Mahogany top to accompany the all-solid Mahogany back and sides.
Tortoise
shell body binding adds an elegant touch. The fully scalloped bracing pattern adds projection and clarity. The guitar's neck
is hewn from a single piece of mahogany and the fretboard is ebony, offering strength, crisp tone, and a highly desirable
appearance.
The unique looking Recording King ROS-606 guitar is extremely warm sounding—a guitar for players
who want an instrument that stands out. Other notable appointments include a slotted rosewood headstock, Grover butterbean
tuners, bone saddle and nut, ivory and ebony dot bridge pins, a pyramid bridge, and a natural finish.
The classic 1920's
design of the 12th Fret 000 ROS-606 is the link between classical guitars and modern steel string models. Very lightweight,
but carefully braced for tonal warmth, the 12th fret 000 design has earned a well-deserved spot in the pantheon of great-sounding
guitar shapes.
The combination of the 12th fret neck joint and the resultingly altered bridge creates a richer, mellower
sound than many of today's brighter-sounding body shapes. Matching the rich tone and clear string separation typical of a
classical guitar, with the projection of a traditional steel string, the Recording King 12th fret shape gives guitarists the
best of both worlds.
