Richwood RA-12 – Auditorium Acoustic Guitar (RA-12)

The Richwood RA-12 is a comfortable, easy-playing auditorium-size steel-string acoustic that’s ideal for beginners and casual players. A spruce top with scalloped X-bracing gives a clear, balanced voice, while the slightly smaller body is easier to hold than a full dreadnought. Durable, CITES-free woods and die-cast tuners round out a reliable first guitar.

Why Choose the RA-12?

If you want a first steel-string that’s genuinely playable, the RA-12’s auditorium shape sits closer to the body and keeps the shoulders relaxed. The dependable build (two-way truss rod, die-cast tuners) means you can keep it set up nicely as your technique develops, and the spruce top delivers a clear strum and articulate picking without the boom of a dreadnought.
