(More customer reviews)This is my 4th Recording King purchased, my Series II 000 style RO-27 impressed me so much, I felt 1 just wasn't enough. This arrived very quickly, as did the others, with free shipping option, well packaged & intact. When I opened it the pickguard was curled up on the inside & outer edge. I'm fairly sure the cold weather while in transit did that. Since this is a fairly expensive model, I immediately contacted Amazon & they had another ready to replace this one. My printer malfunctioned so I wasn't able to print the return sticker, in that time I thought it over some more. The guitar was completely intact & drop dead gorgeous, other than that curled pickguard. I contacted Amazon to find out what the charge would be if I just kept mine & the soon to be shipped replacement. They then told me I could keep the one I have & they would credit a discount to my account. I pealed the pickguard the rest of the way off & there was no damage to the finish underneath, so I took them up on their offer. I SURE am glad I. This guitar plays smoothly & sounds fabulous. Customer service is so great at Amazon I prefer buying from them than to risk the standing in lines - near combative discussions that most of the big box stores have stooped to. They could learn much from Amazon in that department. 5 stars fit this purchase I LOVE this guitar & Amazon has earned one very satisfied customer's loyalty yet again. I can't & won't fault Recording King for the lifted pickguard either, with the realization that they don't use a more permanent bond because some customers would rather not have it on such a beautiful piece of wood. I could salvage the original .. but it is so beautiful without it & the sound hole rosette seems more accentuated, I doubt if it will go back on. I have my RD 16 & 17 CFEs if I feel like pick playing. When I can spend my money & feel the need to say THANKS Amazon & Recording King.. that speaks volumes.
