Torrefaction is a specialized heating process used on Recording King Adirondack spruce tops in which the wood is heated at a low temperature in an oxygen-free environment. The curing process reduces impurities in the wood and results in weight reduction and increased stiffness, producing a similar chemical transformation as wood that has been dried for decades. The end result is a lightweight, extra resonant top that produces similar tone to a vintage instrument that’s been loved and played for years. These solid torrefied Adirondack spruce tops provide the foundation for Recording King’s Torrefied Series 000. The tone of the torrefied top is impressive, and when paired with the mahogany back and sides results in guitars with extra punch, projection and warm, vintage-style tone everywhere on the fretboard.Whether you’re a singer/songwriter or fingerpicker, the Recording King Torrefied Series guitars are the perfect way to achieve vintage tone in a new instrument.Case sold separately.BodyBody type:000-14 FretCutaway:Non-cutawayTop wood:Solid Torrefied Adirondack SpruceBack & sides:MahoganyBracing pattern:XBody finish:GlossOrientation:Right handedNeckNeck shape:CNut width:1.75 (44.45mm)Fingerboard:RosewoodNeck wood:MahoganyScale length:24.9Number of frets:20Neck finish:GlossElectronicsPickup/preamp:NoBrand:Not applicableConfiguration:Not applicablePreamp EQ:Not applicableFeedback filter:Not applicableTuner:Not applicableOtherHeadstock overlay:RosewoodTuning machines:GroverButterbean, 18:1Bridge:RosewoodSaddle & nut:BoneNumber of strings:6-stringSpecial features:NoneCase:Sold separatelyAccessories:NoneCountry of origin:United States Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, 6 String Acoustic Guitars Recording King J28040.001 RO-T16 Recording King, 6 String Acoustic Guitars |
