Recording King’s Torrefied Series of guitars is composed of Dreadnought (RD-T16) and 000 Body (RO-T16) models. Torrefaction is a specialized heating process used on Recording King Adirondack spruce tops in which the wood is heated at a low temperature in an oxygen-free environment. The curing process reduces impurities in the wood and results in weight reduction and increased stiffness, producing a similar chemical transformation as wood that has been dried for decades. The result is a lightweight, extra-resonant top that produces similar tone to a vintage instrument that’s been loved and played for years. These solid, torrefied Adirondack spruce tops provide the foundation for Recording King’s Torrefied Series. According to the company, the tone of the torrefied top is impressive. When paired with the mahogany back and sides, it results in guitars with extra punch, projection and warm, vintage-style tone everywhere on the fretboard. For details, visit recordingking.com.
