Description: Recording King ROS-626EDIT
The first model in the Century Series, the ROS-626, is accurately replicated from a 1902 original. With a hand-buffed nitrocellulose finish, and a 12th fret neck joint for a robust sound and comfortable playability, this guitar reflects its heritage with the deep, authentic tone and warm projection found on original fretted instruments from the early 20th century. It features an AAA solid Sitka spruce top, solid figured mahogany back and sides, one-piece mahogany neck with a vintage ‘V’ profile and slotted headstock. This model also comes with herringbone purfling, M.O.P. diamond fretboard inlay, Grover open-geared tuners and pyramid style ebony bridge.
Schoenberg Guitars has some great photos of this guitar.

My first nice guitar was a Martin D-15 Rosewood which I loved at first but then grew to not like ...

An excellant guitar for the money.
- Pros: First, I play classical guitar, so the neck feels perfect. Next, the action is better that a classical guitar. I wanted to play some blues, and this guitar fit the bill.
- Cons: There was a little string binding when I first got it, but that seems to be over now.
- Experience: I own it
