Recording King

Description

Richly layered chords, deep bass response and the commanding presence of a traditional dreadnought are central to the appeal of the Recording King D70H Standard Series dreadnought acoustic guitar. Part of the redesigned Standard Series from St. Louis Music, the D70H draws inspiration from Golden Era acoustics with all-solid construction, classic tonewoods and vintage-inspired appointments. A solid AA North American Sitka spruce top pairs with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination prized for its broad tonal range, shimmering overtones and resonant low end. The dreadnought body provides the projection and fullness that rhythm players and flatpickers appreciate, while the spruce-and-rosewood pairing offers the articulation needed for individual notes to stand out within complex arrangements. A mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and traditional bone appointments complete the playing experience, with a low-gloss finish and nickel open-gear tuners reinforcing the guitar's understated aesthetic. From accompanying vocals to driving acoustic ensemble performances, the D70H brings a richly textured voice to a familiar, full-size acoustic design.

All-Solid Spruce and Rosewood for Harmonic Depth

The D70H's solid AA North American Sitka spruce top provides a responsive foundation for a wide range of picking dynamics, from delicate fingerpicked passages to assertive strumming. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides complement the spruce with pronounced bass response, clear highs and a complex overtone character that adds dimension to sustained chords. The all-solid construction allows the instrument's tonewoods to resonate freely, while the dreadnought body supports the volume and low-end presence associated with this traditional shape. Together, these elements make the D70H well suited to players who want a full-bodied acoustic voice with enough clarity for detailed melodic work.

Traditional Neck and Hardware Appointments for Versatile Playing

A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide the D70H with a familiar combination of materials for navigating open chords, melodic runs and fingerstyle passages. The 1.75" bone nut offers string spacing that accommodates intricate picking patterns while remaining practical for everyday rhythm playing. A rosewood bridge and bone saddle complete the traditional string-to-soundboard connection, while nickel open-gear tuners contribute to the instrument's vintage-inspired design. These appointments reflect the Standard Series' emphasis on established acoustic-guitar construction, giving players a straightforward instrument that places the focus on touch, technique and the natural voice of its tonewoods.

Golden Era Styling With Practical Features for Everyday Use

The D70H's low-gloss finish complements its traditional design, while Natural and Sunburst color options provide two classic looks. An included brown AGB-25 gig bag makes it easier to transport the instrument to rehearsals, lessons and acoustic sessions. Redesigned by the St. Louis Music team, the Standard Series combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with the practical needs of contemporary musicians. For singer-songwriters, flatpickers and players who appreciate the depth and harmonic complexity associated with rosewood dreadnoughts, the Recording King D70H Standard Series dreadnought acoustic guitar brings all-solid construction and traditional appointments together in a richly voiced acoustic instrument.
