Queen City RB-00 The RB-00 is a medium sized guitar bridging the gap between the parlor sized rb-0 and the big bodied rb-000. It features a rounded heel and end block and the similar curvaceous contours of the rb-0 and 000. Small enough to remain a comfortable lap guitar, but with the deeper sound of a larger guitar, the rb-00 makes for a versatile instrument great for strumming or finger picking.
