Overview
A traveler or home player gets a parlor guitar that feels close to full size thanks to a scale only slightly shorter than standard. Sitka spruce and mahogany build the body, and a passive pickup delivers natural plugged in tone.
Full guitar feel in a small body is the case: the scale is barely shortened, so chords feel familiar. A parlor body still produces less low end than a large acoustic.
Who it's for
Players who take a guitar on trips or keep one by the couch, and who gig small rooms. Bass heavy strummers should look at a larger body.
Pros and cons
- Non-laminated spruce and mahogany
- Near full size scale
- Passive pickup needs no battery
- Hard gig bag included
- Less bass than larger bodies
- Nut width not listed
Performance notes
Tone comes from the spruce top and mahogany body working with a new bracing pattern, giving a full voice for the size. The passive pickup has no preamp to power, so plugged in tone depends on the amp or PA.
