Members DonK Posted November 18, 2016 Members Share Posted November 18, 2016 Haven't posted here in awhile, but it's good to some familiar names still around. Anyway, my middle son, now 22 and a killer player (acoustic, electric, mandolin and banjo), graduated from college and got a job, so now he can buy his own guitars! His first GAS was for a 12-fret slot-head OM/000 and after doing a bunch of research in conjunction with reviewing his bank account, he sprung for a Recording King ROS-16. I couldn't believe how good it looked and sounded, so after a week of lusting after his I bought my own. It's just killer, and I can't believe it's only $429. I've got some pretty nice guitars and this one has supplanted them all over the past month. I'll post pics of both mine and his tomorrow. Only drawback - for some people, not me - would be the neck thickness. It's a true boatneck, closest acoustic to it that I own (or have played) would be my Gallagher Doc Watson, and it's not all that close. We're talking 1" at the first-fret. Hope you all are doing well and I'll post pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted November 18, 2016 Members Share Posted November 18, 2016 Donk! Welcome back - we've missed you! Hope you stay around. And many congratulations on the Recording King ROS-16. I own one myself - bought it a couple of years ago. It was the first RK guitar I'd ever seen here in the UK - I played it for 10 mins and bought it on the spot. Aren't they great?

Members DeepEnd Posted November 19, 2016 Members Share Posted November 19, 2016 Welcome back and Happy New Guitar Day. Looking forward to pics when you can. I had a weak spot for a 12 fret 000 when I was about 19 or so. Ended up with a little Alvarez 5020. It became my main guitar for a couple of years (not mine but just like it): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted November 19, 2016 Members Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks Neal. I'm still hanging out here, mostly lurking. Built a couple of electrics so I make small contributions at that forum. Still playing the blues..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Glenn F Posted November 23, 2016 Members Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi Don, Happy NGD! I had one of those for a couple of years. It is a beautiful guitar, but that v-neck is a handful. I ended up selling mine for more than what I paid, but I do miss it sometimes! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
