Richwood RV-70 (2008)

Among some guitar builders, there is a belief that an instrument is best carved from a pear shape – with the Richwood RV-70, this was taken quite seriously. The body shape is fabulous: a classic 12-fret parlor with all the vintage appointments you could wish for, including an open headstock and a rare Flambeau (Lowden) vintage case.
The combination of cedar top and sapele provides quick response and light, direct playability – ideal for fingerstyle, couch sessions, and recording. With a nut width of just 42 mm and a short scale length of 615 mm, it is also perfectly suited for smaller hands. A rather rare example from this manufacturer.

Material and Construction

• Top – solid cedar: Provides quick response, high dynamics, and a warm, mid-focused tone – especially with light playing and fingerpicking.
• Back & Sides – Sapele: Gives the guitar warmth and focus – a classic combination for parlor guitars with a lot of character.
• Neck – Mahogany with Indian Rosewood Fretboard: Comfortable to play, stable, and tonally warm. The rosewood fretboard ensures clear articulation.
• Nut Width 42 mm & Scale Length 615 mm: compact and handy – ideal for fingerstyle players with smaller hands or as a travel guitar.
