Drawing inspiration from golden era acoustic instruments, the Recording King 00060 12-Fret Standard Series acoustic guitar combines all-solid tonewoods with traditional appointments. An AA North American Sitka top pairs with solid African mahogany back and sides, creating a cohesive solid-wood build. Its 12-fret configuration reinforces the guitar's vintage-inspired design. The result is an instrument that balances all-solid construction with the practical details musicians rely on.
All-Solid Tonewoods and 12-Fret Acoustic Construction
The 00060 features an AA North American Sitka top and African mahogany back and sides, forming the guitar's all-solid body. As the primary vibrating surface, the top contributes to the instrument's resonance, while the African mahogany brings the focused, midrange-oriented character commonly associated with the wood. The 12-fret configuration positions the neck-to-body joint at the 12th fret rather than the more common 14th, influencing the guitar's proportions and playing layout. These construction choices give the 00060 a naturally responsive acoustic foundation while reflecting its traditional design heritage.
Traditional Appointments and Design for the Modern Guitarist
Alongside its mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, the 00060 features a rosewood bridge and bone saddle that help transfer string vibrations to the soundboard. A bone nut and nickel open-gear tuners complete the hardware, accompanied by a low-gloss finish and included brown AGB-25 gig bag. With its all-solid body, traditional appointments and 12-fret construction, the Recording King 00060 12-Fret Standard Series acoustic guitar delivers an acoustic experience rooted in classic design.
