This wonderful R3SKCE combines the greater size of the Grand Auditorium body shape and the breath-taking beauty of Koa to stunning effect. Clear, bright and sparkly in tone thanks to the Solid Spruce and Koa combination, this instrument is powerful and linear in its delivery. Ideal for strident strumming and well-articulated fingerstyle playing. 

The perfect all-rounder, the No.3 has the same scale length as the Orchestra Model but body dimensions closer to a classic dreadnought. The larger body cavity naturally produces greater bass tones, but without sacrificing clarity, and that's the beauty of the Grand-Auditorium. However, a larger body does not mean an unwieldy instrument. Far from it, in fact. The beautiful curves around the waist of the Rathbone No.3 ensure the guitar will sit comfortably on a knee or hang perfectly from your shoulders.

Great looking and sounding acoustic but I may the setup and action looked at.

I got recommended by my guitar tech to check out these guitars in my local guitar shop, I drove there immediately to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it sounded, looked and felt, these instruments are a hidden gem and match the quality of my other acoustics which cost me much more than this! I highly recommend these guitars to anyone, I bought the KOA version of this instrument as it was very bright and sounded fantastic as I already have a darker-sounding acoustic this one was perfect for my needs.

Well, I now own 3 Rathbone No 3s (R3SCRC, R3CECE, R3SKCE). So far I have only used them acoustically, but I may get around to amplification one day.
