Product Description
The ROS-06 is a classic 12th fret OOO design that represents a first for the entry level guitar market. Crafted with the same attention to detail as our top-of-the-line Century Studio guitars, the ROS-06 packs a lot of refinement into a small package. The solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides give this guitar a warm, even tone, and the 1-13/16 nut width is perfectly spaced for comfortable fingerpicking. The bone nut and saddle help to insure perfect intonation and the body is bound with classic tortoise shell for vintage style.
- Solid Sitka Spruce Top
- Mahogany Back & Sides
- Tortoise shell binding

| 20 of 22 people found the following review helpful  ALMOST THERE, By Rafael Garcinni (San Francisco CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Recording King ROS-06 Classic Series 12th Fret 000 Acoustic (Electronics) I purchased one of these, an ROS-06, when it became available at a lower price as a customer return in "mint" condition. Shipping was delayed due to bad weather in the northeast, but after finally receiving it and observing that it had survived shipping unscathed, it was, indeed, mint.Out of the box, my first impression was that perhaps I'd finally come across a true winner; the fit and finish were superb all around. The action was a bit high for my touch, making what felt like a typical 12-52 string set hard to play fingerstyle, though bold and full range sounding when strummed. (Better too high than too low, since the former is more easily addressed.) At that point, I could only echo the sentiment of another reviewer of this model, who could only wonder how they make a profit on such quality materials and workmanship at that price range. Further into my maiden recital on the instrument, however, I noticed that the intonation was sharp in the upper frets,...

Each string is well articulated and clear when strumming or playing finger style. Volume is much better than I expected for this size instrument.I have bought a lot of guitars. Generally when I buy a guitar under $500 I don't expect much for setup and have a collection of files and tools to make the necessary adjustments. This instrument was set up perfectly with a nice low action and good intonation. The finish of the instrument was excellent and above what is expected at this price range. The guitar does have a very chunky neck. I find it very comfortable for chords but some with smaller hands may not like it as much. Since this guitar is designed with finger style players in mind the spacing between strings is also wider. If you ever thought this type of instrument might be your cup of tea, this guitar would be the perfect entry ticket into the style, I certainly am impressed with the...

(Southern NJ USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Recording King ROS-06 Classic Series 12th Fret 000 Acoustic (Electronics) If you like guitars with that old-time look (slotted headstock, wide fretboard, and 12 frets free of the body), then this should suit you. The neck is quite thick as well as wide, like the old originals. Some of the re-issue instruments by major American makers have slimmer contours to suit players more used to 14-fret models, so be aware that this Chinese-made guitar offers quite a handful. The top on the one that I received is not the highest grade of spruce (visually), but it is solid wood and the sound is very nice. It came with a neck adjusting wrench, and I was a bit nervous when tightening it to remove a slight bowing (it creaked ominously). However, I was successful in adjusting the neck so that it had only slight relief when the strings were tuned up to pitch. The frets looked a bit uneven, so I didn't try to get the neck dead-straight, to avoid string buzz. The intonation is good, so the frets are in the right place even if not totally level.If you feel uneasy about doing... Read more |
