Description

The Richwood RA-12-BK is a comfortable auditorium-size steel-string acoustic finished in classic gloss black. A spruce top with scalloped X-bracing gives a clear, balanced tone, and the slightly smaller body makes it easier to hold than a full dreadnought—great for first-time players and relaxed sofa sessions. Reliable hardware (die-cast tuners, two-way truss rod) keeps it playing well as your technique develops.

Key Features

  • Auditorium body for a closer, more manageable feel

  • Spruce top with scalloped X-bracing for projection and clarity

  • Laminated basswood back & sides for stable, warm response

  • 650 mm scale, 43 mm nut—comfortable modern neck width

  • Active two-way truss rod for straightforward neck adjustment

  • Chrome die-cast machine heads for stable tuning

  • Acacia fingerboard & bridge, ABS ivory binding, gloss black finish

  • CITES-free woods used throughout

Why Choose RA-12-BK?

If you want an easy-playing first acoustic that doesn’t feel bulky, the RA-12-BK’s auditorium shape sits closer to the body and encourages good posture. The spruce top keeps strums bright and chords articulate, while the dependable setup features (truss rod, die-cast tuners) make routine maintenance simple.
