A brand originally built in the 1930’s, Recording King guitars and banjos combine the classic feel of pre- war instruments with modern build enhancements and some contemporary design twists for today’s player.

Recording King instruments feature pre-war style parts, beautiful engravings and authentic warm tones which define the word ’vintage’.

The Classic, Contemporary and Historical series guitars are built from selected woods and details like the old style bevelled pick guard and herringbone inlay are lovingly crafted.

The Western Collectable range feature bright and colourful scenes of the American Wild West, adding a work of art on top of an already classic Recording King guitar.
In the 30’s it was oft said the Recording King banjo was “the working mans banjo”, and today’s instruments have the same rugged construction this tag would imply. Take apart any Recording King banjo and you will see construction typical of an American made banjo.

The extensive range of classic style guitars and best selling banjos make the Recording King range a must try for any discerning musician.
