Recording King RNJ-16 Jubilee Troubadour

The Troubadour guitar is built with the same care and attention to detail as all Recording King instruments. The Troubadour was designed based on the classic deep-body Nick Lucas style guitars of the 1920’s. To achieve the classic Recording King tone, the top is made of solid Sitka spruce and voiced with hand-shaped, fully scalloped x-bracing. The back and sides are made from mahogany. The 4 1/2” extra-deep body helps to add significant volume and bass for players looking for full, round tone and projection. The “C” profile neck is mahogany with dot inlay on the rosewood fretboard. With a classic 1 3/4” nut width, a truly historic scale length of 24 3/4” and a bone nut and saddle, the Recording King Troubadour has been carefully assembled to fit vintage specifications down to every last detail. A very nice hard case is included in this sale.

Every guitar that I ship will be set-up at whatever specifications the buyer would like. After purchasing the guitar, just send me an e-mail telling me the measurement you would like the action to be at the 12th fret.

Shipping to Canada only by UPS

I unpack each guitar that comes into my shop, thoroughly inspect it, check the set-up, intonation, neck and, last but not least, the tone. We ship as soon as possible but reserve the right to completely inspect and test guitars before shipping.  This can sometimes lead to slight delays before our customers receive our products but they can be certain the guitar will arrive ready to go and that it was carefully packaged before shipping. All shipments will require signing upon delivery 

Shipping is available worldwide via USPS.  I do not ship to South America, Asia or Australia
