Solid Spruce Top & Wild Cherry Laminate Body
The Roadhouse Parlour features a stunning solid spruce top that offers a broad dynamic range, versatility, and crisp articulation. Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a dynamic tonal pallet and accommodates numerous playing techniques. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright singing highs. The spruce top is contrasted beautifully by the wild cherry laminate back and sides, offering similar tonal properties that fall between the mellow tone of mahogany, and the bright sound of maple. Overall this guitar delivers a rich blend of quality tonewoods that provide a sonically pleasing experience throughout each strum.
Silver Leaf Maple & Rosewood Fingerboard
The silver leaf maple neck's tone also falls in the same category as mahogany, offering durability, rich warmth, mid-range punch, and great playability. The silver leaf maple neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a warm, bright, and sparkly tone that really shines through when using finger picking techniques.
Roadhouse Parlour Body
The Art & Lutherie Roadhouse features a parlour body shape, which was originally designed to be small and comfortable enough to sit and play in your armchair. Parlour shaped guitars are ideal for those players who favour more low-key, less brash musical styles like alternative indie genres and folk. Its sleek, slim body and slightly sloped shoulders all provide a comfortable playing experience, making it easy to play for long periods of time. The Roadhouse Parlour is lightweight and ideal for the gigging guitarist as it is small and easily portable.
Art & Lutherie Bourbon Burst Finish
The Roadhouse Parlour offers a vintage-vibe through its simple and sophisticated ornate details, resulting in a truly stunning appearance that won't fail to impress crowds. This compact guitar features a bourbon burst finish, which is complemented by a vintage themed pick-guard, to project its authentic personality further. In keeping with authentic vintage styling, the Roadhouse has a traditional striped sound-hole rosette and white dot fingerboard markers to match, offering a pre-war era aesthetic in a modern parlour build. The authentic square taper headstock is accompanied by antique brass machine heads, blended with its rich semi-gloss bourbon burst finish that screams out for a vintage personality to match its vintage vibe.
