Thanks for the comments. I wouldn't have been able to review an instrument if it weren't for what I have learned from others here.

As you stated 66strummer, it is only minimally heavier than my 000-28EC. Interestingly, my Breedlove is heavy, but the tone is tremendous. I attribute most of the Breedlove's weight to the neck(double truss and slight thickness) and the body depth.

I read some remarks about RK and suspect earlier models, and possibly still some others, were overbuilt. This plagues alot of instruments where production numbers and stability are managed through overbuilding rather than committing some extra effort.

There are alot of good guitars choices out there in the $400-$700 range.
