davenumber2 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It's an homage to a Gibson, obviously taking design elements from the L-Century. Picked this up the other day and it's the most fun guitar I've purchased in a while. Great little blues/rag picker. It's a Recording King Century 33. That is all.

Jinder Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I’m a fan of RK guitars. The RNJ-25 and RP-06 that I owned for a while were really pleasing little boxes. Not quite a Nick Lucas and Martin 0-18 but close and unbelievable value for money. Really good gigging guitars, too. I moved them on as I decided I wanted to consolidate my large collection of mid price instruments into a couple of high end ones, so the RKs went to fund my SJ200, but fondly remembered.

Dave F Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I played one at GC, it wasn't bad at all. They also had the matching mandolin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenumber2 Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 I will also say the setup was great out of the box. Low action and a tall saddle. I haven't had to adjust anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 For a while now I have carried around the thought of snagging one of the RK Nick Lucas knockoffs in the back of my mind. Anyway Congrats! To my eye though that guitar style conjures up images more of something like a Harmony H-162 minus the MOTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella made a few of them too, but at least they used the L00 style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention the Harmony, they also have a "Bakersfield" version, echoing the Harmony Buck Owens. https://www.elderly.com/catalog/product/view/_ignore_category/1/id/145336/s/recording-king-bakersfield-limited-edition-acoustic-guitar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
