Recording King has introduced two new traditional 000-style acoustic guitars, the RO-328 and the RO-318.

There’s also Grover open-gear butterbean tuners, a bone nut and a rosewood belly bridge.
Aesthetic touches include a vintage-style tortoise pickguard, triple ring rosette and herringbone body purfling.
