Recording King RPS-7-E-TS – Dirty 30s Series 7 Single-O

The Recording King RPS-7-E-TS is a compact acoustic guitar in Single-O format from the Dirty 30s Series 7. This model combines a vintage-inspired acoustic tone with the practicality of onboard electronics, making it suitable for both unplugged playing and amplified performance.

General description
The guitar features a spruce top paired with White Wood sides and back, a construction that delivers a clear, focused sound with strong midrange presence. The body uses a traditional X-bracing (Cross-Lap bracing) pattern, contributing to a balanced response and controlled projection typical of small-bodied guitars from the pre-war era.

The mahogany neck is shaped in a Thin C profile and fitted with an ovangkol fingerboard, offering a comfortable and familiar playing feel. With a 12th-fret neck joint and a 25.4″ scale length, the RPS-7-E-TS produces a warm, woody character with a slightly softer string tension feel. The guitar is finished in a classic Tobacco Sunburst.

An integrated soundhole-mounted pickup allows the instrument to be used amplified while retaining its natural acoustic character.

Playing experience
Thanks to its Single-O body and 12th-fret design, the RPS-7-E-TS feels compact, lightweight, and highly responsive. The tone is warm and articulate, well suited for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and singer-songwriter applications. When amplified, the pickup provides a natural and direct sound, making this guitar a practical choice for live performances or studio work without external microphones.
