Mandolin, Banjo's, Resonators & Violins
Originally a house brand in the 1930s for Montgomery Ward,
Recording King acoustic guitars and banjos were developed in a period known as the Golden Age of musical craftsmanship. Instruments designed during this era are among the most well-respected and sought-after fretted acoustic instruments available.Building on this storied American tradition, our Recording King guitars, banjos and resonators carry on the legacy of these classic instruments using vintage designs and hand-assembled parts. Recording King’s luthiers have revived the past for today’s modern players, but have done so with a deep respect for tradition and history. Todays reissues have the look, feel and sound of the classic models with impeccable workmanship and enhancements for contemporary players.
From our best-selling banjos to our all-solid, professional acoustic guitars, we proudly continue the tradition of one of historys most revered instrument manufacturers.
