Recording King’s RO-G6 Solid Top Guitar

When visiting the Summer NAMM show in Nashville in June, we took a special interest in Recording King’s offerings for beginner guitarist and one of the instruments that stood out was Recording King’s RO-G6 Solid Top Guitar: a small body acoustic guitar built for comfort and great sounding play. The RO-G6 starts with the perfect engine for true acoustic guitar tone: a solid spruce top. The smaller 000 body size is comfortable for players of all body types, and the 24.9” scale length has a sweetness of tone as well as easier playing with lower string tension. The RO-G6 includes beautiful tortoise shell rosette, binding, and pickguard, capping off a great sounding instrument suitable for both students and pros.

Solid Spruce Top
A solid top allows the soundboard to transfer the strings’ energy and tone in a much fuller way than a laminate top guitar. Recording King hand selects the spruce used on the RO-G6 specifically for the smaller 000 body shape. The result is a more orchestral solo sound with an even frequency response and sweet melodic highs.

Comfortable 000 body and Shorter Scale
The 000 body is known for being a fingerstylist’s delight, and the RO-G6 is no exception. The blend of tones is remarkably even, but the melodic higher frequency tones still sing out. The 24.9” scale length is perfectly matched with this body shape, contributes to the RO-G6’s tone, and also has the added benefit of comfort and less hand fatigue in the fretting hand, letting you play stronger and longer.

Distinctive Tortoise Shell Styling
You want your guitar to not only sound good, but look good too, and the RO-G6 delivers. The translucent tortoise shell rosette is a unique Recording King feature, which is complemented by the matched pickguard and body binding.

The G6 Series 000 wraps great tone and elegant appointments into a stunningly affordable package. With a solid spruce soundboard and bone nut & saddle, these guitars deliver a sound that will please both bedroom pickers and professionals alike.

Aesthetically, the G6 Series has a simple elegance. Adorned with a tortoise shell rosette and binding, this gloss-finished beauty is bound to turn heads.

The G6 Series 000 features a traditional 24.9” scale.
