Recording King RO-227

The good: this is a rare and excellent all solid wood recording king from their sought after torch series. It’s a martin 000-41 style. If you’re looking at this, then you know these are excellently crafted guitars. It’s action is pretty much perfect. Very comfortable and smooth as butter. It comes with a gator hard shell case and an under saddle pickup installed. I do not know which one. 

The unfortunate: it had a weird finish reaction to a strap by the Jack, I think these guitars are actually nitro finish. And it has some separation on the belly of the bridge. It appears stable and doesn’t affect play, but may need to be reglued if it bothers you or worsens. 
Also, the label was misprinted, it says RD-227 which is the dreadnaught version.
