Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Electro Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Sunburst

Full Description

Small yet mighty parlour design

The Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Electro Acoustic is complete with a lower and upper bout, drawing inspiration from an old school slender parlour design. The slim design boosts your midrange, with a sweet toned guitar that packs a punch. This age old body shape pushes the sound of the Hartwood Villanelle to the max with a deceptively loud solid tonewood construction. A joy to play, the slender Hartwood Villanelle parlour guitar is a lightweight offering that is great for travelling, gigging and busking.

Quality mahogany & solid spruce construction

The Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Electro Acoustic is produced in Indonesia by master craftsmen and offers quality construction matched with carefully selected high grade materials. The solid Engelmann spruce has been chosen to provide sound that emphasises the natural mid-range of an acoustic guitar whilst having the benefit of sounding like a played in, vintage instrument. It's paired with mahogany back and sides to give you an instrument which is built to last and sounds great.

Nato neck & black walnut fingerboard

The Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Electro Acoustic is features a neck constructed from nato, which delivers a quick and dynamic response. Nato is a species similar to mahogany that is known for being strong and resistant to moisture. The reliability of this tonewood is also matched with a warm, resonant tone, making it a worthy addition to the Hartwood Villanelle. Furthermore, the neck is topped with an American black walnut fingerboard, adding a mellow, warm tone to the guitar's overall sound. The use of this sustainable wood provides a smooth and stable surface which is great for all playing styles.

Plug-in with a Fishman Preamp

The Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Electro Acoustic is equipped with Fishman electronics, so you can take your guitar to the stage. With an included 9v battery you can transform your guitar, all you need to do is plug-in and play. You can also achieve perfect tuning with a convenient, inbuilt tuning system. Installed on the side of the guitar, you can quickly make adjustments whether you are performing acoustically or amplified, offering easy tuning on the go. Additionally, the Fishman preamp also features controls for contour and phase. This allows you to enhance your sound easily and quickly.

Vintage design

The Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Electro Acoustic is ideal for seasoned players and beginners alike, this affordable and great sounding instrument has looks to match. Complementing the vintage sound created by the solid Engelmann spruce top, the ivory coloured pin stripe binding harks back to a vintage era for a stunning and distinctive instrument that will help you stand out onstage. The eye-catching Hartwood headstock is combined with a tear-drop style scratchplate, complete with Hartwood logo, to finish off the look. The diecast chrome machine heads have smaller tuning keys to suit the small body, creating excellent tuning stability and looks.
