RO-318 Tonewood Reserve Series All Solid 000, Aged Adirondack Top

Recording King

collapse expand iconDescription

This Recording King RO-318 Tonewood Reserve Series acoustic guitar evokes classic style, sound and volume thanks to hand-selected tonewoods and vintage styling. The foundation of the Recording King RO-318’s tone comes from solid aged Adirondack spruce tops. Adirondack’s excellent projection, coupled with three decades of curing, delivers a stiff, loud, lightweight top with powerful fundamental tone.

This Recording King acoustic is finished with classy, low-key fretboard dots on the rosewood fretboard, and a vintage-style black pickguard to protect the top. The Recording King 318’s classic rosette design and tortoise binding complete the traditional look.

    This is a really good guitar regardless of its price but when you factor in what it cost it is a fantastic deal. The string spacing at the bridge and nut make it an excellent finger picking guitar and the Adirondack top gives it some nice punch.

  • Exceptional guitar

    As another reviewer stated, expect to perform or pay for a setup, but then this is an extremely good guitar. The tone is rich with plenty of volume. I have a D-18, Taylor 414 and other similar premium guitars and this Recording King is right there with them, better than some. If you can acclimate to the V-neck (I particularly like it) and vintage (wider) string spacing, I don't see how you could be disappointed. I've had the guitar for about a year now.

    This is a great guitar for the money. I wouldn't buy it without a hard case, simply due to the fact that a good guitar should be humidified. That said, be prepared to spend another $100 on a setup. The quality of the woods are unmatched, but the setup is horrible from the factory.

    The sound is great. Perfect for finger style players. My one and only con is the V shaped neck. If Recording King had this same guitar with a C shape neck I would love it.
