The Recording King RAM-3-BK Dirty 30s delivers the classic old-time sound troubadours and multi-instrumentalists look for without the price tag of a vintage instrument. Its solid spruce top provides the traditional mandolin “chop” and projection needed for ensemble playing, while maple back and sides balance brightness with woody warmth.
The maple neck carries a thin “C” profile on a dovetail joint, with a Revebond fretboard, compensated adjustable ebony bridge and open-gear tuners with ivory buttons. Ivory body binding and an authentic mini-Recording King Jubilee peghead inlay finish the look, all wrapped in a bold satin black finish.
