The Rathbone RSM1KE is a semi‑hollow, cutaway electro‑acoustic guitar that brings a bit of versatility to stage and studio use. It has a lightweight chambered body with a solid Okume back and sides and a bound koa top, which gives the guitar a focused and balanced acoustic tone with a bit of warmth. The semi‑hollow design helps keep the instrument comfortable to hold and easy to play over long sessions.
The neck is made from mahogany with a rounded “C” profile that feels comfortable whether you are playing chords lower down the neck or reaching higher up. A cutaway in the body makes it easier to access the upper frets.
For amplified use, this guitar has an under‑bridge piezo pickup and a simple preamp with bass and treble EQ/boost controls plus a master volume. That gives you straightforward tone shaping when you plug in without needing extra gear.
