RD-328 Aged Adirondack : Incredible value but poor QC
Amazing wood selection, great looks, unbelievable tone and projection, rings like a bell. Almost a Martin for a fraction of the price. However, the Quality Control is unacceptable in my opinion. Mine came with a huge strings-fretboard misalignment, most likely a consequence of a poorly installed bridge. I've seen another one in in person with the same issue (not as bad as mine), and different reviews on YouTube where it was so obvious you could easily spot it through a screen. I mean, a lot of people will say that at this price range is not something you should be demanding about, but it would be really easy to do it well, and while it's not an expensive guitar If you compare it to medium-high end guitars it competes with in terms of sound and materials, it's still a 700€ guitar. Brands like Epiphone are making Masterbilts and Inspired by Gibson Series in Indonesia and they take good care of these details. This Recording King is made in China, which is pretty similar. In conclusion, in terms of value it's just unbelievable, an absolute bang for the buck, but it would be perfect if they just took care of such simple and easy details. For me it was either keep it and take it to a professional Luthier or send it back. I have decided to send it back and now I'm going for an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson instead.
