General

The Recording King ROS-06-L is the left-handed version of the ROS-06 guitar. It's an Orchestra Model steel-string acoustic that's also known as a Triple OOO model. What distinguishes the ROS-06 from a standard Triple OOO is that it's a 12th fret OOO-style guitar that was based on the classic 1902 design. What makes this model really stand out, though, is that the neck is attached to the body at the 12th fret, so it has a shorter scale length than a traditional acoustic. What's more, the body of the ROS-06-L has the shape of the nylon-string classical, which means it can produce a feisty, direct sound. Combined with an extra-wide, 46mm neck, this guitar is every fingerpicker's dream. It also functions beautifully as a slide guitar for playing the blues.

ROS-06-L: traditional construction

This acoustic model has a solid top made of AA-class Canadian spruce. Unlike laminated wood, a solid top offers more volume and a fuller tone. Also, the mahogany sides and back ensure the kind of warm, intimate sound you might expect from a classical 12th fret guitar. The ROS-06-L is equipped with professional features like a 20-fret rosewood fretboard and pyramid-style bridge with a bone saddle. Together with a bone string nut, you can be sure this guitar sounds as good as it looks. To top it all off, the natural finish gives it a traditional, retro look.
