Very good to excellent condition. It has been been modified for lap-steel slide guitar with a taller bone nut and has a JJB Electronics Prestige pickup installed. It can also be played as a normal guitar with the original nut which is included with the truss wrench and original end pin. There are not scratches or dings. I only played it a few times and it has been in my temperature & humidity controlled studio since I purchase it new so it's time to sell it.

Here is a description of it from the Internet:

The Recording King Dirty 30s Series 9 Plus (RPS-9P-TS) is an ultra-lightweight, 0 size, parlor-style acoustic guitar featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back/sides, and a tobacco sunburst satin finish. Designed for blues and roots players, it has a 25.4" scale length, 1-11/16" bone nut, and a punchy, mid-range focused tone. 

Key Details and Features

  • Body & Top: Single 0 (Parlor) body shape with a solid Sitka spruce top for improved resonance and, in the "Plus" model, mahogany back and sides.
  • Sound: Known for a "boxy" or bluesy, vintage tone with good mid-range bark, suitable for fingerstyle or slide playing.
  • Neck & Scale: 25.4-inch scale length with a comfortable thin "C" mahogany neck and 1-11/16" nut width.
  • Hardware: Features a bone nut and saddle, Padauk fretboard, and ivory-button tuners.
  • Finish: Satin open-pore finish in a Tobacco Sunburst. 

Pros

  • Extremely Lightweight: Designed to be highly resonant and portable.
  • Vintage Vibe: Captures the aesthetics of 1930s-era instruments.
  • Value: Offers solid-top construction at an entry-level price point. 

Considerations

  • Case: Usually sold separately.
  • Volume: While responsive, it is a smaller body, so it lacks deep bass. 

This model is a strong choice for players looking for a dedicated, affordable blues machine or a "couch guitar" with a distinct, old-school sound.
