{"product_id":"dirty-30s-single-0-series-7-parlor-ae-w-gold-foil-p-u-mahogany","title":"Recording King Dirty 30s 7-Series Parlor Acoustic-Electric Guitar Mahogany","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOld-School Looks, Plug-In Ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something about a small-body guitar with a vintage vibe that just makes you want to pick it up and play. The Recording King Dirty 30s 7-Series Parlor Acoustic-Electric does exactly that — it channels the spirit of Depression-era parlor guitars while giving you a passive Gold Foil soundhole pickup ready to plug straight into an amp or PA. No batteries, no fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-maple body gives this Single 0 a bright, focused character that sits right in the mix whether you're strumming chords or working through fingerpicked melodies. The compact parlor size makes it easy to carry around, and the 12th-fret neck joint keeps the playing position comfortable and familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a guitar that works equally well as a couch companion or a stage tool. If you're after a compact acoustic-electric with honest vintage character and a pickup that doesn't require a battery change right before a gig, this one's worth a close look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-Maple Body with Vintage Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaple top, back, and sides make up the body of this 7-Series Parlor. Maple tends to produce a brighter, more articulate tone than traditional mahogany or spruce\/mahogany pairings — it emphasizes clarity and note definition, which suits fingerpickers and players who need their parts to cut through clearly in an ensemble setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording King's X-brace bracing pattern supports the soundboard for consistent vibration and balanced response. The body joins the mahogany neck at the 12th fret with a traditional dovetail joint — a time-tested construction method that reinforces the vintage proportions of this parlor-size design. Vintage-style tuning machines with ivory-colored buttons complete the throwback aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRK Gold Foil Soundhole Pickup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Foil pickup mounted in the soundhole is a passive design — meaning it requires no battery and no preamp to operate. Just plug it into any amp, DI box, or audio interface and you're ready to go. The gold foil tone has been sought after for decades: it's organic and rootsy, with a character that sits somewhere between a traditional acoustic pickup and an electric guitar's single coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat kind of pickup pairs especially well with the bright, punchy maple body. Players who gig with this guitar in small rooms, open mics, or recording sessions will appreciate how quickly it goes from acoustic practice to amplified performance without any extra gear in the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Comfortable, Practical Parlor Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck features a C-shaped profile and joins the body at the 12th fret with a dovetail joint. The 25.35\" scale length and 1.69\" nut width provide a familiar steel-string feel that transitions naturally for most players. Acrylic fingerboard inlays keep the look clean without being overly ornate. PPS is used for the nut, saddle, and bridge pins — practical and consistent string contact points throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall result is a guitar with a very low barrier to entry: easy to grab, easy to play, and easy to plug in when you need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e All-maple top, back, and sides in a Single 0 \/ parlor body shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany with C-shaped profile; dovetail joint at 12th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.69\" (approximately 1-11\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e X-brace pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e RK Gold Foil passive soundhole pickup — no battery required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage-style open-gear machines with ivory-colored buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut \/ Saddle \/ Bridge Pins:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPS material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany (satin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recording King\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dirty 30s 7-Series Parlor Acoustic-Electric Guitar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e RP-30-7E-MA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
