Recording King RD-310 NAMM all solid Adirondack Mahogany Dreadnought with onboard Preamp-EQ-Tuner. In mint, near like new condition, no fretwear. Purchased directly from Recording King, it was a special guitar for the 2011 NAMM show. It's a great guitar, folks at Recording King must have selected one of their very best of this model then installed the German company Shadow Electronics onboard pickup system. A couple of times I have owned a dreadnought that sounded nearly identical to another dreadnought. This RD310 with its medium EJ17 strings that it come to me with and a guitar buddies Martin D-18GE were one of these times (he reluctantly agreed). So I have held onto this guitar for over 10 yrs but now with too many new additions as well as it having spent most of its life in the case its time to pass it on to someone who will get some use, play and enjoyment of it. This would be a great guitar for a performer. Action is very low the whole length of fretboard and I have light gauge strings installed Although mediums are fine as it was set-up from Recording King. The pick guard has the plastic as it arrived to me.
