Rathbone R3SKCE Grand-Auditorium Acoustic Guitar The No.3

The Rathbone R3SKCE Grand-Auditorium is a stunning example of modern craftsmanship, combining elegant design, premium tonewoods, and exceptional playability. Crafted with a solid spruce top and Koa back and sides, this guitar produces a tone that is clear, bright, and full of character, perfectly balancing warmth and articulation.

The larger Grand-Auditorium body shape delivers impressive volume and projection, making it ideal for both dynamic strumming and expressive fingerstyle playing. The tone is powerful yet refined—rich in bass without sacrificing clarity—offering the perfect blend of the depth of a dreadnought and the comfort of an orchestra model.

Designed for versatility, the R3SKCE features a cutaway body for easy upper fret access and a high-quality pickup system for reliable stage performance. Whether you’re performing live, recording, or playing at home, this guitar adapts beautifully to your playing style.

Despite its larger size, the guitar remains comfortable to hold thanks to its gracefully contoured waist, allowing it to rest naturally whether seated or standing. Every detail, from the Koa’s shimmering grain to the smooth neck profile, enhances the instrument’s visual appeal and playability.

About the Sound Shop Drogheda (Ireland Ltd.) Est. 1968

The Sound Shop was established in 1968 by Tommy Leddy and Sean McEvoy, Tommy and Sean had being hiring PA equipment for some time from their homes and seeing there was a gap in the market for musical equipment and instruments they went on to open their first shop in 14 North Quay Drogheda, and so the Sound Shop was born.

The business grew quickly so it wasn’t long before a much larger premises was needed and just a few doors away from the original shop stood Mayoralty House a historic building with charm that became the home of music in Ireland for the next 37 years, With the success of the business and rise in popularity of out of town shopping the Sound Shop needed to be part of this movement so the decision was made to finally leave North Quay and built a brand new 12,000 sq ft mega store along with a 900 seat theater the TLT where both business still reside today 2023.
