Richwood RD-12L Artist Series Left-Handed Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar – agathis top, laminated basswood back & sides, chrome die-cast tuners, gloss sunburst
The first chord a left-handed player strikes should feel like an invitation, not a compromise, and the Richwood RD-12L delivers that welcome with style. Its lefthanded dreadnought body projects a room-filling voice, while the agathis top and laminated basswood back and sides shape that volume into a warm mid-range that flatters both fingerstyle nuance and full-throttle strumming. Under the hood, X-scalloped bracing lets the top breathe freely, gifting you rich overtones normally unheard at this price.
Pick up the RD-12L and you’ll notice the silky gloss sunburst catching stage lights, but comfort steals the show: a familiar 650 mm scale meets a slim 43 mm nut, allowing spacious open chords and easy‐reaching barre shapes. The Indonesian mahogany neck feels reassuringly solid, paired with an acacia fingerboard whose ABS ivory binding makes fret edges disappear beneath your fingertips. Every note lands true thanks to an active two-way truss rod that keeps relief dialled in as seasons move from humid summers to dry winters. At the headstock, chrome die-cast machine heads lock the .012–.053 strings firmly in tune, letting beginners focus on music rather than constant tweaking.
All of this adds up to a guitar that invites growth. Its balanced voice records cleanly, cuts through a camp-fire jam and sits confidently in a beginner’s budget—proof of Richwood’s relentless quality improvements. Choose the RD-12L through Elit Music and you benefit from over 30 years of expertise and one of Eastern Europe’s most diverse catalogues, ensuring fast delivery, after-sales care and a trusted partner for your musical journey.
