Recording King started as a house brand for Montgomery Ward in the 1930s. Legendary guitarist John Fahey played one but the line was discontinued in 1939. The brand was revived in 2007, with Johnson Guitars taking the Recording King label and faithfully reproducing designs from the 20's and 30's while including more modern innovations in materials for the modern player.
