A great introduction to a pre-war style acoustic guitar, the Classic Series I has fine craftsmanship and a natural acoustic tone. The Recording King RD-16 guitar features a solid Engelmann spruce top, mahogany back and sides, fully scalloped forward-x bracing and a mahogany neck. Series I models have a Recording King "damask" pattern M.O.P. headstock inlay and abalone snowflake position markers. The traditioanl features on this guitar include a vintage-style beveled pickguard and classic butterbean tuners.
