  • Condition: This is a clean used guitar that we had the factory make with slanted frets to see if it helped playability. It sounds and plays great, the bridge is tight, the action is 3/32" at the 12th fret, the truss rod works and the frets are smooth at the edges. The slant frets helped a bit but not enough to repeat it. It is not new and has as repair to the top by the fretboard as well as surface marks and smooth finish from handling. Ships Double Boxed.

    Description

    A one off RPH-05 made with slanted frets. It plays a bit better than a standard one.
    The Dirty Thirties Dust Bowl-inspired Single O is meant to sound great wherever the road takes you. With a solid top and old-style matte sunburst finish, it sits at the perfect crossroads of classic sound and vintage design. Like the original Montgomery Ward mail order guitars in the first half of the century, the Dirty Thirties Single O is the perfect companion for singer-songwriters, folk stylists or traveling Troubadours. All of the Dirty Thirties guitars start with a solid Spruce top and Rosewood fretboard, with bone nut and saddle. They’ve finished each guitar with classic extra-large fretboard dots, aged Ivoroid body binding, satin sunburst finish, vintage-style tuning keys and historic Recording King headstock. The Dirty Thirties series packs excellent playability and historic vibe into a retro-inspired package that makes vintage style accessible to every player.
