Recording King Tenor Guitar

The Recording King Dirty 30’s Series 7 Tenor guitar gives jazz, folk, and old-time guitarists (and banjo players!) a high-value, mojo-packed, great-sounding tenor to add to their collections. The tenor guitar, generally tuned CGDA, has long been a staple of old-time players and has continued to pique the interest of mainstream musicians looking to augment their sound.

Recording King’s Series 7 Tenor Guitar has a familiar 000-size body, with the same retro aesthetic as other Dirty 30s models. The 23” scale makes it easy to navigate the entire fretboard, and the bone nut & saddle insure resonance at all the string contact points. RK’s exclusive Cross-Lap bracing results in an extra-responsive top to help you cut through the mix.

There are a few other tenor guitars on the market, but none that pack the Series 7’s combination of excellent tone, vintage mojo and incredible value. At such an affordable price, this Tenor guitar won’t last long!
