Recording King G6 Solid Top GA Cutaway with EQ
Recording King RGA-G6-CFE5 — G6 Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric, Natural
The Elegant Workhorse
Every guitar in Recording King's G6 Series has been cheered as that rare beast: an elegant workhorse. With its distinctive tortoiseshell styling and world-class construction, the RGA-G6-CFE5 is a must-have guitar for gigging musicians, studio professionals, and anyone seeking balanced tone and reliable electronics without breaking the bank.
This is a guitar that works. It sounds great unplugged, plugs in seamlessly with Fishman's legendary Presys electronics, and looks stunning while doing both.
The Grand Auditorium Advantage
More Than a Pretty Body
The Grand Auditorium body shape marries comfort and volume—the sweet spot between a dreadnought's projection and a smaller body's playability. With enough space to really move some air, the solid spruce top and fully scalloped X-bracing bring out shimmering highs and extraordinarily balanced lows and low-mids.
What does that mean in real-world playing? A guitar that:
- Projects enough to fill a room or stage without amplification
- Feels comfortable in your hands during 3-hour sets
- Responds dynamically to every playing style (flatpick, fingerstyle, hybrid)
- Works equally well in a recording studio or on a coffee house stage
The easy-access cutaway gives you full command of the upper fretboard for solos and intricate passages.
Premium Tone, Proven Electronics
The Wood Story
The solid spruce top and fully scalloped X-bracing bring out shimmering highs and extraordinarily balanced lows and low-mids. Mahogany back and sides deliver warmth and sustain, while bone nut and saddle ensure classic tone transmission with nothing lost in translation.
Fishman Presys I Electronics
Fishman's Presys I is renowned in the acoustic world for transparency and reliability. You get:
- Undersaddle pickup capturing the true voice of your guitar
- Intuitive EQ controls (bass, mid, treble) for stage shaping
- Onboard tuner for fast, accurate tuning
- Volume control for seamless amplification
- Battery indicator so you're never caught without power
Just plug in and play—no mystery signal loss, no coloration, no compromise.
Details That Matter
The Tortoiseshell Aesthetic
The Recording King G6 Series is instantly recognizable by its distinctive tortoiseshell styling. The tortoise inlay rosette, body binding, and pickguard aren't just decorative—they signal that you're holding a guitar built with intention. Pearl dot fretboard inlays and a pau ferro headstock overlay complete the refined look.
