Recording King RP1-16C akoestische westerngitaar

I bought this guitar from BAX about three years ago and still love the way it sounds, feels and look forward to playing it every single day!!!



I was initially looking to buy the RP06 but there was never any stock available, so I started to look at other Recoding King Guitars like the RP1-626-c and RP2-626-c, the cost of these guitars was a bit too much for what I was willing to pay especially given it was the first time I was buying a guitar that I had never tried out online (no stores I know in the UK hold stock of this brand), plus I had never used Bax Shop before.

When the RP1-16c came on offer it just ticked all the boxes and I took the plunge. I am so glad I did!

The guitar has a wonderful tone, it’s possible that the torrified top has something to do with that. The scale length sure helps to project some surprising amount of volume especially given the “O” body size of the guitar and the soft V profile neck is very comfortable.



The guitar came out pretty well set up out of the box. I have not had to adjust the action nor did I have any issues with sharp frets or fret buzz. The tuning keys work well even after all these years.



I have to dig hard to find issues with this guitar, that said I do think at this price the guitar should come at least with soft case and an option to buy with electronics.



I was very impressed with the customer service I received from BAX on this purchase and on another purchase where I had to return a guitar.



It’s almost Christmas and if you are looking for a an acoustic to buy, do give Bax and Recording King a try.

Mycket välljudande gitarr med balanserad och varm ton.

Förvånansvärt hög volym då kroppen är lite mindre, sk 0-sized.

Halsen, 44mm, är mitt emellan elgitarr och klassisk.



Det enda som inte var riktigt som förväntat var bandstavarna som inte var polerade, så vibrato och bend ger lite skrapljud. Dra med tumnagel så känner du att inte jämna bandstavar, lite strävt. Jag gör mycket underhåll på mina gitarrer själv - så jag körde lite krompolish(autosol) och de flesta vart bra(tog 30min med maskin). Men några band har faktist som djupare skrapmärken kvar och kräver lite mer bandslip före polish. Men 85-90% ok nu.



Men riktigt nöjd med köpet tack vare att jag har lite vana.
