Recording King RO-342 evokes a classic acoustic style, sound & volume thanks to hand-selected tonewoods and vintage styling similar to that of a 000-42 Martin! The foundation of the 342’s tone comes from solid Adirondack spruce tops that has been naturally aging for the past 30 years. Adirondack’s excellent projection, coupled with three decades of curing delivers a stiff, loud, lightweight top with powerful fundamental tone. Very powerful in the midrange as well as the bass response, and the trebles are clear and solid. Great for all applications including finger style and flatpicking! Combine that aged top with solid Rosewood back and sides, and you have a fundamental tone machine! The 342 is styled with classy, 42 style abalone appointments, and a vintage-style tortoise pickguard to protect the top.
