Recording king RD G9M

By: David on 16 November 2020
Guitar has a nice solid spruce top, better than expected for the price. Back and sides also has nicely grained solid wood. Construction looks good no excess glue inside is neat and tidy. Nut and saddle are plastic not bone as in the description. Endpins are also plastic. Finish looked good but there was dust in it, the back also had some marks on it. Action was high at nut and 12th fret but a set up fixed this so add another 100 to the price. I would use bright strings on this as it sounds a little dead to me. May just be my ears as this is the first mahogany guitar i've had all others have been a rosewood back and sides. A solid wood guitar at this price it is hard to complain.
