Recording King M-3 1939

Sold

Here we have a Recording King M-3, built by Gibson in April 1939. The M-3 is basically the same guitar as a Gibson L-50, but with Kalamazoo style F-holes and a 5-piece neck with no truss-rod. It’s pretty hard to go wrong with a 16-inch carved-top from this era.

About the Recording King M-3 1939

The stamp inside the body tells us that this Recording King was made in April 1939. This workhorse has a solid carved Spruce top and laminated Maple back and sides. The original bound tortoise pickguard is a real eye catcher on this guitar.

The Mahogany neck has a chunky neck profile with a Rosewood fretboard. This Recording King is in remarkable condition. It’s survived the years beautifully and is without any cracks or damages.

The M-3 is equipped with a very classy Pete Biltoft Charlie Christian pickup and Bakelite knobs. Very similar to the Gibson ES-150.

This vintage Recording King is strung with .011 strings and the action is nice and low.

Comes with a gig-bag.
