Recording King RPS-7-TS – Dirty 30s Series 7 Single-O

The Recording King RPS-7-TS is a compact acoustic guitar in Single-O format from the Dirty 30s Series 7. This model is designed for players who want a pure, unplugged vintage acoustic sound, inspired by small-bodied guitars from the 1930s.

General description
The guitar is constructed with a spruce top and White Wood sides and back, producing a clear, focused tone with strong midrange presence and quick response. The body uses traditional X-bracing (Cross-Lap bracing), contributing to a balanced sound with controlled projection and a distinctly vintage character.

The mahogany neck features a Thin C profile and is paired with an ovangkol fingerboard, offering a comfortable and familiar playing feel. The neck joins the body at the 12th fret, which enhances warmth and resonance while giving the instrument a slightly more relaxed feel under the fingers. The guitar is finished in a classic Tobacco Sunburst.

Playing experience
The Single-O body and 12th-fret design make the RPS-7-TS lightweight, comfortable, and highly responsive. Its tone is warm, woody, and articulate, making it well suited for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and early roots music. Without onboard electronics, the sound remains purely acoustic, delivering an uncolored and authentic playing experience.
