Recording King RO-328 All Solid 000

Great guitar for the money. Plays well and was pretty well set up from the factory. And it really came straight from the factory. There was saw dust on the guitar and you could, and still can, smell the glue. There?s some glue that has been spuilt inside the guitar but that doesn?t bother me. But I think the lacquer is too thick and that it would sound better with a different finish or thinner lacquer. I?ve changed strings to elexir 13-56 pb which are the strings i prefer these days. They make the guitar sound good. I mostley strum, play bluegrass and fiddle tunes. I wanted a small body guitar that sounded big and it really does, but I found that in a jam session with lots of different instruments i prefer a dreadnought. But it?s great for smaller jams and playing at home. Also it?s hard to put it down and it wants to be played. That?s always a good sign. Bought it in august 2020 and play it pretty much every day. I think it will be hard to get a better guitar for the money you spend on this guitar.

The guitar has exceeded my expectations. All solid wood and extremly resonant body have a nice and balanced sound for fingerstyle or strumming as an OOO shape guitar should have.
Finish and all the detail are flawless, no sharp edges on the frets or fretborad. The guitar was already set up pretty well from the factory and action is resonably low (2.8mm low E and 2.5mm high E).
While the neck's sharp V shape took some getting used to, it quickly became comfortable and easy to play specialy for ''thumb over top'' style of playing.
Cons: No gigbag included and no pickup (which is also written in the description), factory strings needs replacing ASAP!
The only serious drawback for me is that it only has one strap button making it hard to mount a standard straps. You need to add another strapbutton or to tie a strap on the headstock.
Considering its affordable price, all solid wood, aged sitka top and real rosewood fretboard, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it! It could easily stand up to any 5x priced Martin.
Thomann service of course amaizing as always!
