Cyber-Monday Score!

Got this all from Amazon. They mis-priced the guitar at $232 (it's usually about $450) and also grabbed the Guardian case for $57...All delivered for $289 8)


Recording King RAJ-16. Chinese copy of a Gibson slope-shoulder. Bone nut & saddle (laminated) mahogany back & sides, sitka spruce top. It plays great and sounds a whole lot better.

Woow! I hear good things about them. Let us know after the high wears off

Golly gee, Russ... what a deal!! As an owner of an older Chinese-made guitar with laminated mahogany back and sides....I'm a big fan of the sound. And some sustain like you wouldn't believe. Congrats on the amazing score!! 8)

Sweet! What a score!

Thanks guys. I'm impressed with the workmanship. The bracing is hand cut and VERY nicely done

Bit late, but very nice score. I've played a couple of the Recording King models and liked them all. Really nice guitars.

I really like the short (24 3/4") scale acoustics. My F30ce is also a short-scale guitar but that instrument could really benefit from a neck reset.


I wonder who actually makes these Chinese guitars, Guild GAD's included. It would not surprise me in the least to find out that the RK's, Blueridge and Guilds all roll off the same line
