Help choosing a 12-fret 000
I'm looking to diversify a little bit and am very interested in a 12-fret 000 or smaller. I would prefer a nut width of 1 13/16" or greater. Price is also a major issue, as I would prefer not to spend a lot on what will be a couch/classroom guitar (this eliminates the 000-28VS).
I am intrigued by the new Schoenberg Recording Kings, but don't have a dealer close by to try one. Anything else I should consider? Thanks! |
I had an RK RS626 a while back that I wish I'd never let go of (for that travel/kickaround purpose) It was a nice little guitar for the money I had into it used....hard to beat. Other option may be a Blueridge 341 or 361 Parlor...

Here's my post on my new Recording King ROS-06. 12 fret, 000, scalloped braces, 1 13/16 nut, etc, etc, etc.......
These are soooo goooood, and soooooo cheaaaap it's a crime not to buy one, especially if you are looking for a pre-war type 12 fret. Here's the link to the post http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=210562 |
I agree. I would get one of the Recording King 000's. You can't lose... Especially for the $.
|
the RK Ros-16, the Ros-06's bigger brother. Lovely.

Hi Adam,
The Schoenberg guitars are probably it if you are trying to avoid the cost of a 000-28VS. Good luck! - Glenn |
000-15S? Nice small guitar, big tone.
|
I tried out a 000-28VS yesterday. Man, that is one fine fingerpicker. I may have to part with my Taylor and D-35 to afford it, but it might just be worth it. What can I say? I'm weak.

I own a Martin 000-28VS and I can tell you, it is a very rich sounding guitar. The 1 13/16" nut width and mod-V neck is a challenge for me, but if you like that fat, wide neck, this may really be for you. Every once in a while these come up for sale; in fact, not too long ago we had one in our AGF classified section with a cutaway, which would be really nice considering the limiting 12-fret neck. Good luck with this, Glenn |

I appreciate your input! |
Just an update...as you can tell from my signature, I pulled the trigger on a 000-28VS. Got it from Cotten Music in Nashville. Great guitar and great folks!

When I decided to sell my Taylor, I thought 'downgrading' for a 000 that would rarely get played was the way to go. Then I realized I wanted a really good vintage-sounding guitar to split time with my Bourgeois. A couple weeks in, and I am happy as can be! And the money....well, as they say....you can't take it with you. Pictures soon! |
