Here we have a very cool guitar with vintage looks. It has super clean lap bracing and great sound from gold foil pickups. The
Recording King's Dirty 30s Series 7 guitars just keep getting better, and the newest option is a 000 14th fret with gold foil soundhole pickup. Series 7 sound is unbeatable for the cost—chalk it up to their super clean Cross Lap bracing and top-quality materials. This is really one beautiful mint guitar that is listed as excellent due to one small blemish on the back. It has new strings and a set up with the neck adjusted and nice action. Comes with a New Black 000 hardshell case. The spruce top is striking beneath the Tobacco Sunburst finish, framed by vintage-style checkerboard binding. The bound soundhole and parallelogram stencil fretboard markers are both functional and stylistic.
Now in the 000 body shape with an added gold foil soundhole pickup, the Series 7 is ready to get on the stage or the studio. The gold foil sound has been sought after since its introduction nearly 60 years ago. Now, this passive pickup is ready to plug in and play with no fussy batteries or additional gear needed.

This guitar has no breaks or repairs, it is not stamped used or is a 2nd and not a B-stock or a blem model.
And please realize that the price of shipping reflects the fact that this guitar comes in a case, so therefore it adds to the weight & size of the package.
At Rocking the Shack, we like guitars in cases, nice and safe! And are also big fans of strap locks! Pickguards are also nice since thery do protect the finish!
At the Shack we do tune ups and set-ups but only when requested by customer, ( a $90.00 charge) Unless, at times we feel that a set up would really benefit an instrument then we just do it.
Of course every guitar deserves a good set up with new stringsif needed!
At the Shack we keep climate control conditions all year round and the instruments live in a smoke free environment in their cases!
As mentioned before we love cases and strap locks for the safety and protection they offer. Need we say more!
Pick guards are also nice for protection of the body and when matched up right they can bring out the hidden beauty in an instrument!
We pride ourselves in offering quality working beautiful instruments for sale. We are great communicators and the best packers and shippers. We ship with Reverb protection through UPS mostly.
And we do sell and ship to Canada but cannot list the shipping cost till we know your address. Then we can do an estimate of that cost and send you a offer.
We spend the time needed to make sure you are a happy camper/customer. It gives us great joy to know someone is playing and enjoying an instrument we have worked on and owned.
Thanks so much for your interest!
Marcus & Rory @ Rocking the Shack
