(More customer reviews)For whatever reason Amazon has this priced lower than the ROS-627 model. This ROS-647 model is identical to the 627 model except for some extra "bling" in the form of hand inlaid abalone. Normally the 647 is $200 or so more than the 627. Thus amazon has an awesome price on this guitar. Unless you don't want a flashy guitar, it's a no brainer to get this over the ROS-627.
The first guitar I was sent had a crack in the back. I couldn't tell if this was a crack in the wood or the lacquer. Either way, I sent it back. Unfortunately amazon made me pay the postage, but I expect to be re-imbursed. Rather than wait for a replacement I requested a refund and ordered a second guitar. The second one was perfect, though it did need a little humidification as the frets were a bit sharp. I recommend picking up an oasis case insert (I don't trust the ones that go in the guitar) for the winter months.
The guitar is beautiful, so beautiful in fact that I'm planning on getting a wall-hanger for it to use when the humidity gets better. It also sounds great too! I'm pretty much a novice to the guitar, but I have played the violin for many years (I got a guitar recently as my infant son seem to really like guitar music/singing) so I know a little bit about how wood should sound and it sounds great. I think this is a fine guitar for all levels of players, but is an especially good deal for an amateur guitarist like me. Honestly, I don't see myself ever needing another guitar in this style as this one should last me forever. However, god forbid something should happen to it (my infant son knocks it over, etc.), it's nice to know it isn't a $3,000 guitar. In fact I don't think I could really enjoy a Martin (or alternately a Huss and Dalton, as I really like those) the way I'd like as I'd be so scared of damaging it. One thing to note is that getting a case for it is a little difficult. A standard OOO sized case will not fit this guitar. In fact I was unable to find a case that worked for sale on Amazon. However, I did find a "guardian" brand 12-fret OOO case on another site.

Recording King Century Studio guitars illustrate the relentless pursuit of classic tone. No element has been overlooked in assembling one of the best sounding 12th fret guitars available.Each guitar is built with lighter bracing for more resonance, and the ebony pyramid bridge helps enable greater vibration from the hand-selected tops.The Nitrocellulose lacquer finish is dried for 8 weeks in order to insure that the lacquer is properly bonded to the wood. Both the gloss and matte finishes allow the guitars to sing powerfully and clearly.Recording King has built the ultimate in small-body guitars for the discerning player who is looking for supreme sound quality and excellence in construction.
