Recording King Dirty 30s Series 7 000 Tenor Acoustic Guitar - Tobacco Sunburst Reviews
Everyone from jazz pickers to folk strummers and beyond will find much to love in Recording King's Dirty 30s Series 7 000 tenor acoustic guitar. Designed in response to an overwhelming interest in a Dirty 30s-style tenor acoustic, this 4-string delivers the series' trademark vintage flair with exceptional tone to match its good looks. It all starts with whitewood for the sides and back joined to a punchy spruce top — these tonewoods produce luscious sonic warmth with great sustain and volume. Sweetwater players can't get enough of this tenor's 23-inch-scale mahogany neck, which grants easy access to the ovangkol fingerboard's 20 frets. For an even more premium experience, Recording King went with their exclusive CrossLap bracing for increased response and a genuine bone nut and saddle for improved sustain and optimal sound transfer between all the woods.

Great sound + great look + low price = great value!
Purchased in April, 2023 from my sales guru David Hess. Sounds great, plays great, looks great - I cannot believe this is a $ guitar. This instrument quickly became my "go to" for playing around the house and working up new material.
I highly recommend this for anybody who is just starting out on guitar, and for anybody who already plays a 4 string instrument (ukulele, mandolin, fiddle, banjo) and is looking to expand their tonal palette.
Not only does this instrument sound great acoustically, I had a K&K pickup installed by Woodsongs Lutherie (Boulder, CO), and with the addition of an LR Baggs Para DI it sounds great amplified as well.
My only wish is that they offered other color / finish options (e.g. "Wabash Blue"), because I'd order another one so I could have one tuned GDad and the other tuned CGdg.
Order this guitar - you will NOT regret it!
Exactly what I wanted! Tuned DGBE
I've been playing ukulele casually for decades. I recently bought a baritone ukulele to play some assorted styles of music that don't sound the best with reentrant tuning. I found myself wanting something even more different as I still wasn't getting the sounds I was looking for. Some search time on the internet pointed me to the tenor guitar. A tenor guitar is a tuning chameleon as there are lots of ways to tune it. The option that appealed to me is Chicago tuning of DGBE, the same as a baritone ukulele, and the same as the four high strings of a guitar. (I've tried to play six string guitars and I don't enjoy it)
Tenor guitars can be hard to find, and when you do, the price of entry is about $700 with very few exceptions. This is one of them and is the only option I found in this price range that doesn't use a "mini" guitar body. I like the fact that this guitar has a full-size Martin 000 body shape. The sound is good. The action is acceptable. The intonation is on point. The fit and finish is better than what I expected for an entry level instrument. Overall, this guitar is exactly what I wanted, an affordable entry level instrument to explore new music with.
Solid
Waited about six months to post this. Great guitar. Sounds is excellent. Came set up well. Build is good. Holds a tune. No complaints. Sweetwater is great.
Very Good build quality and Intonation!
I purchased this Recording King Dirty 30's Tenor guitar and I have to say I'm very impressed. The build quality, fit, finish etc. are all very good. Although the color wouldn't be my first choice, "sunburst" isn't my first choice on any acoustic guitar but many people like it. I do like that it has a satin finish instead of gloss, and it is nicely done. More importantly the sound is remarkable for a guitar at this price. I first inspected the guitar for any obvious problems (none to be found) and I let the guitar sit for a couple of days so it could adjust to my home's temperature and humidity. I then tuned the guitar. Correct intonation is probably the most important thing for good sound and playability. I checked the intonation at the 5th, 7th and 12th frets of all 4 strings and it's nearly perfect. Very few low priced 4 or 6 stringed instruments can say that. Overall, it is well made, and I really like how the mid and low tones come on stronger with this guitar than most tenor's I have played. I attribute this to the larger 000 body. The 000 body, the satin finish, the great mid and low tones and intonation make this one a keeper! Just my two cents, I hope this helps some people.
