Every Guitar has a Voice

Recording King EZ Tone

Recording King's EZ Tone series uses one of the thinnest poly finishes ever combined with finely-tuned action for guitars that resonate freely to deliver classic acoustic tone that's not choked by a thick finish and easy playability to reduce finger fatigue.

EZ Tone guitars are built with solid spruce tops, mahogany back and sides, a thin profile mahogany neck and an ultra thin finish
