Richwood RD-12-RS Artist Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar – red sunburst gloss, scalloped-X bracing, chrome die-cast tuners
A single strum on the Richwood RD-12-RS is enough to understand why this instrument rewrites the “entry-level” rulebook. Its full-size dreadnought body releases generous warmth, while the high-gloss red sunburst finish transforms every living-room rehearsal into a stage moment. Anchoring the voice is a scalloped-X-braced agathis top that breathes freely, paired with laminated basswood back and sides tough enough for the classroom, the tour bus, and everything in between.
Beginners feel at home thanks to the factory-set low-action string height, while seasoned players appreciate the smooth travel of the chrome die-cast machine heads which keep pitch rock-solid. A slim Indonesian-mahogany neck meets an acacia fingerboard bound in ivory ABS, its 43 mm nut width allowing comfortable barre chords and fingerstyle passages alike. Under the gloss, an active dual-action truss rod waits patiently for seasonal tweaks; silver-nickel frets promise years of buzz-free performance.
Whether you aim to master your first G – C – D progression or need a dependable backup for weekend gigs, the RD-12-RS offers tone, playability and looks far beyond its price. And because you purchase through Elit Music – a family business with over 30 years of expertise and one of the most diverse product ranges in the region – your guitar arrives inspected, adjusted and ready to inspire from day one.
