From aggressive strumming to fingerpicking, this model has you covered. The spruce top is beautifully complemented by sapele back and sides, which adds a slightly brighter sound with more top-end shimmer to the mix.

Sculpted for perfection

The Parlor size guitar is not only perfect for travelling thanks to its compact body. It is also a good size for those with a smaller frame, as the shorter scale length can help accommodate your reach.
