Recording King 00070H 000 12-Fret

The Recording King 00070H is the rosewood 12-fret 000 in the 2026 Standard Series, dressed with herringbone purfling and squares-and-diamonds inlays like the other 70-level models. Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides under a thermo-cured solid Sitka spruce top give this small body more low end and sustain than the mahogany 00060, and the 12-fret bridge placement adds depth on top of that, so it is the fullest-sounding of the three Standard Series 000s. It is $949.99 in a Natural low gloss finish.

We would hand the 00070H to a fingerstyle player who wants a small, 12-fret guitar with rosewood depth and the herringbone look, and who does not need a pickup.

What the 00070H is built from

Every 2026 Standard Series guitar gets a bone nut and a bone saddle, a 1 3/4 inch nut width, a mahogany neck in Recording King's RK-1 shape set into the body with a dovetail joint, a rosewood fingerboard, ebony bridge pins and open-gear satin nickel tuners, and the 00070H is no exception. Herringbone purfling runs around the top and the fingerboard carries squares-and-diamonds inlays. The RK belly bridge is rosewood, the pickguard is tortoiseshell, the headstock wears a rosewood veneer with the RK-1 abalone logo, and the whole guitar wears a low gloss finish that looks and feels like satin. It ships in a brown gig bag and it is acoustic only, so if you need a pickup you will want to have one installed.

Thermo-curing is Recording King's term for heat-treating the top before the guitar is built. The heat drives out moisture and resins the way decades of playing would, which is why a new thermo-cured top tends to sound drier and more open than an untreated one.

00070H or 00060?

The closest comparison in the line is the 00060, the mahogany 12-fret with plain trim, which is $200 less. Mahogany back and sides keep the midrange focused and the bass tight, and rosewood adds low end and a longer, more complex ring, so the choice comes down to whether you want the guitar to sit under your voice or fill more of the room on its own. We keep both on the 00060 page and this one so you can compare them side by side.

Buying a 00070H from The Acoustic Shoppe

The 00070H is $949.99 in Natural. The pre-order listing above takes a 25% deposit toward the next one we receive, and the serialized guitars that land here show up in the grid as we check them in. When a 00070H sells, its listing redirects to this page, so this page always shows the ones we have now. Every one ships after our 23-Point Professional Inspection, and because these guitars are under $1,000 they fall under our 14-day evaluation period rather than the Dread-Not Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Recording King 00070H in stock?
This page is the 00070H's permanent home rather than a single listing, so the grid above shows whatever we have right now. A pre-order listing means we are taking a 25% deposit toward the next one in, and serialized guitars with their own photos appear as they arrive. Call us at 417-720-1223 if you want to know where a shipment stands.
What is the difference between the 00070H and the 00060?
The 00060 is the mahogany 12-fret with plain trim, which is $200 less. The body shape and scale are the same, so the difference you hear is the back and sides: mahogany keeps the sound focused and dry, and rosewood adds bass and sustain.
Does the Recording King 00070H come with a case?
It ships in a brown gig bag from Recording King. We can fit a hardshell case before it leaves the shop if you would rather have one, and we check every guitar over with our 23-Point Professional Inspection either way.
