The Recording King Dirty 30s Single 0 Parlour Electro Acoustic in Red, White and Blue is a compact blues box with bags of vintage attitude and a bold, eye-catching finish. Combining a classic parlour body with upgraded construction and an RK Gold Foil pickup, it delivers punchy, characterful tone whether you are fingerpicking on the sofa or plugging in for a stripped-back gig.

Designed by the expert team at St. Louis Music, this latest Dirty 30s 7-Series model refines the much-loved formula with improved materials, thoughtful bracing and stylish appointments. The all-maple body gives a bright, snappy voice that cuts through a mix, while the comfortable 12-fret neck joint and longer scale length keep things feeling familiar under the fingers. If you want a fun, affordable parlour that looks unique and sounds inspiring, this little Recording King is ready to become your go-to songwriting and travel companion.

Vintage Parlour Feel, Modern Playability

The Single 0 parlour body and 12th-fret neck joint capture the intimate, focused feel of early blues and folk guitars, perfect for fingerstyle, slide and rootsy rhythm work. At the same time, the 25.35 inch scale length and 43 mm nut width offer a comfortable, contemporary playing experience, so you can dig in without feeling cramped.

All-Maple Construction for Bright, Punchy Tone

With maple used for the top, back, sides and fingerboard, this guitar has a naturally bright, articulate voice that brings out every nuance of your playing. Chords stay clear and defined, while single notes have a crisp attack that works brilliantly for blues licks, ragtime runs and percussive strumming.

RK Gold Foil Pickup for Effortless Plugged-in Sound

The built-in RK Gold Foil pickup adds classic cool and a smooth, musical amplified tone. It captures the guitar’s natural character with clarity and warmth, making it ideal for open-mic sets, small gigs or recording direct without fuss. Just plug in and you are ready to go, no extra soundhole pickups or clip-on mics required.

Dirty 30s Style with Red, White and Blue Finish

The satin Red, White and Blue finish gives this parlour a standout look that is full of personality, while still fitting the Dirty 30s vintage-inspired vibe. Ivory binding, acrylic sound bar inlays and open-gear tuners with milk white buttons complete the retro aesthetic, so it looks every bit as cool as it sounds.

• Single 0 Parlour Body - The compact Single 0 parlour shape delivers a focused, mid-rich sound that is perfect for blues, folk and roots styles. Its smaller footprint also makes it incredibly comfortable to play on the sofa, in the studio or on stage.
• All-Maple Construction - Maple top, back, sides and fingerboard provide a bright, lively tone with excellent note separation. This helps your playing cut through in a mix and rewards dynamic picking with plenty of clarity and snap.
• RK Gold Foil Pickup - The fitted Gold Foil pickup offers a clean, characterful electro acoustic sound with a distinctly vintage flavour. It makes going from unplugged practice to plugged-in performance simple and reliable, with no extra gear needed.
• Vintage-Inspired Appointments - Ivory binding, acrylic sound bar inlays and open-gear tuners with milk white buttons give the guitar a classic, old-school look. Combined with the Red, White and Blue satin finish, it has a unique visual identity that stands out on any stage.
