RK Academy: Inside the Tonewood Reserve Part 4

[@floridasurffishingjcaprice3077]

I've watched thousands of guitar videos over the past 3 years. These videos sold me. The sincerity of Travis is inspiring. Not a sales pitch, but a deeper look into the character of the Recording King company's desire to provide the best experience for every guitar player. Well done!

Thank you!

This is the only way I could get a rosewood guitar in my price range. And Adirondack top? What? Yeah, mine is on the way! This puts other companies to shame. There actually isn't a better price than these guitars that I have seen. And I have been looking for a while now. A couple of years now. And the competition isn't as cheap or as good. The only thing I could ask for is nitro finish but I am not going to complain for the price that I paid, I am stoked! Been a while now that I really wanted a 28 style. Thank you for making it possible!

What Travis says in these videos is not marketing bs, it is the truth. I have an RD-328 and I must say I was really impressed with what I could get for the money. Of course the hardware (tuners, pins etc) is not top quality stuff but most of us like to tinker with our guitars anyway right ;) These guitars nail what is important and that is why Recording King is such a great company!

This 4 part series is one of the best presentations I've seen for any instrument. I haven't heard these in person yet but can honestly say there will be both of the 28 models in my home in the near future! Great job.

[@RecordingKingOfficial]

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Where can I find the RD- 318 and/or RD-328 here I n the UK or are they not available here yet ??? Am very keen to get a Dreadnought but would like (obviously) to give both a try before deciding which on to go for ....thanks for the informative video 👍

Thanks for this series. It's exactly what I needed to help me decide on my next rosewood box(RD 328).

[@kyleharleyanderton]

Thanks again for continuing this series!

[@ericoswood1856]

I have an RO-318 and it is a really fine playing and sounding guitar.

[@EmeraldStargazer]

Two weeks ago I got another Recording King and it's a RO-328 model! The best price/quality ratio out there. Since purchasing my first RK guitar I don't even consider buying other brands. Recording King 4 life!

[@77guitarts22]

It looks like a great idea and nicely done series! I have a 12 Strings from RK with just solid top but I love it, and want another RK. The 328 would be a great option for me.

[@billyshelton78]

They sound pretty good but the spine could be a little smoother on the neck.. why a thick poly and not the nitro finish like the rd 316 ?

[@tonirasmussen5671]

Hi Recording King ... Could you make those guitars in lefthanded versions, please? I bought one cheap palor-leftie RK, and had to rebuild a Parlor 626, a RD 327 and a Ro 16 torrified from right to left. It cost a lot, but those are three of my go-to-guitars and it was by any means worth it, but if you would make high end lefties, a lot of "left-out-rk-fans" would be more than gratefull.

[@Mason_bluegrass]

i have a question . i have RK rd-328 . i use medium strings .13 . i wonder if those guitar where build to handle such tension on the top.

[@alexandercluster3003]

I’m commenting on a old video I know. These tonewood Reserves though are hands down the best Instruments on the market. Bang for buck is unmatched. This is a embarrassment for Martin and Gibson. Even the dirty 30 Gutiars sound amazing. I haven’t picked up a Recording King that has sounded awful. Cannot recommend these enough. Un freaking believable beautiful sounding. Just buy one.

[@77guitarts22]

Question: How is the neck done? Is there any reinforcement on it as you can find on other similar priced Guitars? Like Cort Gold series and Walden Guitars?

[@RURALELECTRICBAND]

Thank you for this video series! Are these Guitars manufactured in America? You mentioned 15 Luther's. I've heard Recording King Guitars were made in China. I'm only asking about these 4 Guitars. I have no doubt about your quality of the woods, used in these Guitars. Thanks!

[@ADKWOODS]

I was really enjoying how well this 4 part series was put together but then it ended without hearing any of the guitars. It makes no sense to showcase these guitars and not play them for customers to hear the comparison between the body types and tone woods. What were you thinking?

[@RecordingKingOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. We have videos showing off the sound of these guitars too, but the point of this series was more of a deep dive into the why and how of our design and build process
