The Recording King label has its origins in the 1930s, when the department store and mail-order retailer Montgomery Ward sold archtop and flattop guitars under that name. Over the years, some notable players have taken a shine to the old Kings, including fingerstyle iconoclast John Fahey. (You can read more about Fahey’s guitar in AG, October 2001.) The name has been revived in recent years and is one of several lines distributed by the Music Link, which also handles Johnson, the Loar, and other familiar acoustic-instrument brands.
