It’s all wrapped up in a look one can’t find anywhere else thanks to it’s pearloid appointments. At the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago, the Century of Progress theme was displayed on products from cars to guitars. Recording King’s Century33 mandolin is inspired by the unique designs at the Fair. In the 85 years since that World’s Fair, Recording King has been known as a choice for players who understand great value and don’t have to run with the pack.
