Great value
Quin the Eskimo 21.05.2022
Nut width 45mm+ , string spacing at saddle 57.7mm, scale length 24.9". As a fingerstyle player who enjoys attempting some challenging arrangements I wanted to try playing a guitar with the above neck dimensions but the market has not served me well, the only alternatives available are just two guitars both costing £3000+.
This guitar fills the huge gap very well, the soft V neck fits my hand fine and I can now play thumb wrap chords up to the 8th fret without stressing the thumb joint. The sound is good with decent projection and volume. Mahogany does not produce the louder trebles of Rosewood but the sound volume is more ballanced across the strings and easier to controll .
I like to tune a semi tone bellow standard and combined with the short scale means I can use 13 gauge strings, these produce a fuller sound than 12s at standard tuning.
Action at the saddle is medium but I lowered my saddle slightly and there is still saddle height to adjust very low if required.
Action at the nut was a bit high. Using rubber bands to hold 1.2mm shims behind the nut I filed the slots down to the metal shims and now it's much easier to play without a capo.
The scratch plate is too big and ugly, I peeled it off and rubbed away the glue with my thumb and a cloth with very hot soapy water.
Overall I think this guitar is a great bargain if you want short scale and wider string spacing.

Great Mojo No Frills Guitar - with the OOO-18 vibe!
Inon 30.11.2022
I was looking for a cheaper alternative with the attitude of the famous OOO-18 and its staple sound.
This guitar arrived overall in a great shape and I did some minor fret leveling and new strings to get it really in shape.
Once the setup was good and ever since I'm very happy with this guitar.
Its sound and vibe is the main feature otherwise it has vintage-like tuners
no electronics and vintage v shape neck.
over time the woods also seem to be stable so all in all I highly recommend this guitar for what it is

Eine tolle Gitarre mit sehr guter Verarbeitung
Pullp 02.09.2020
Ich war auf der Suche nach einer Gitarre mit sehr genauen Abmessungen:
- mittlere Korpusgröße (OM/000/00)
- kurze Mensur
- Sattelbreite mindestens 1 3/4" (44,5 mm)
- Saitenabstand am Steg 2 1/4" (ca. 57mm)
- Fichte/Mahagoni
Davon gibt es gar nicht viele. Eine bekannte alternative ist die Martin 000-28EC, allerdings in ganz anderen Preisregionen.

Mit der Recording King habe ich nach langem Suchen eine Gitarre gefunden, die genau meinen Kriterien entspricht. Die Angaben von Thomann zu Sattelbreite und Mensur sind entsprechend falsch.
Der Sattel misst, zumindest bei meinem Exemplar, 45,4 mm und die Mensur beträgt 632 mm. Der Hals hat schon ein recht deutliches V-Profil, ist im Ganzen aber nicht besonders dick. Diese Kriterien muss man mögen, ich habe aber genau danach gesucht und finde es sehr angenehm zu spielen.
Mit dem Klang bin ich ebenfalls vollkommen zufrieden. Ich spiele in erster Linie Fingerpicking mit den bloßen Fingerspitzen. Mit 80/20 Saiten bekomme ich so genau das richtige Maß an Höhen und einen sehr ausgewogenen Klang.
Die Verarbeitung ist nicht makellos, aber trotzdem sehr gut. Die kleinen Verarbeitungsmängel sind nur bei sehr genauem Hinsehen zu erkennen und sind rein kosmetischer Natur. Die Saitenlage musste ich etwas anpassen, aber das ist ja ohnehin Geschmacksache.
Insgesamt habe ich mit der Recording King eine Gitarre gefunden, die alle meine Kriterien erfüllt, super klingt und insgesamt ein super Prei-/Leistungsverhältnis bietet.

Une petite merveille
Rene7855 11.07.2024
Reçu ce matin et absolument rien a redire. Impécable fabrication.
J'adore j'avais très peur du manche en soft V, mais purée il est vraiment trop bien, parfait dans la main et soutient bien pouce pour les barrés. Les mécaniques sont très précises et tiennent parfaitement les cordes.
Toute en massive sillet et chevalet en os et la petite volute sculptée sur le manche en une pièce. Du très bon travail rien qui gêne le jeu. Frettes bien ajustées et ponçées.
J'adore cette forme 000 parfaite pour jouer des heures sans fatigue du bras et qui résonne autant qu'une dreadnought malgré son corps plus réduit. Les qualites des bois son bien au rendez-vous.
Merci à l'equipe de Thomann j'ai du patienter pour l'avoir car elles arrivent au compte gouttes. Mais là franchement aucun regret. Mon conseil si vous aimez les 000 foncez les yeux fermés.
J'ai juste a poncer un peu le chevalet pour abaisser un peu les cordes à mon style de jeu comme je l'ai fait sur ma Takamine.
Une très belle et très bonne guitare qui se bonifiera dans le temps.
5/5 tout est parfait. 👍😉
