Full Description
View Full DescriptionWhy choose parlour?
Popular since the late 1800’s, Parlour guitars are favoured by travelling musicians for their compact size, making them ideal for when space is a premium. Although smaller than jumbo and dreadnought guitars, their internal bracing offers fantastic resonance, providing a larger tone that compliments the excellent midrange focus they offer.
Built with excellence in mind
Providing the finest playing experience, the Parlour Guitar is comprised of the same materials found in our high-end models. The slotted vintage tuners guarantee exceptional tuning stability so you can perform with total confidence, knowing your guitar’s tuning will be maintained throughout. This is reinforced via the inclusion of a walnut bridge and compensated saddle.
Made from premium tonewoods, the spruce top, sapele mahogany body and maple neck offer a high fidelity sound, providing warm lows, an articulate midrange and smooth top end with beautiful overtones. For maximum aesthetic appeal, the guitar comes complete with a cream 3ply binding around the edge of the body, as well as a white dot inlays on the fretboard. All of which compliment the black finish. Inspired by vintage parlour guitars, the electro-acoustic features a slotted headstock design, fitted with vintage tuners. This offers an increase in sustain due to the sharper pull angle over the nut, reducing the risk of unwanted fret buzz.
Amplify your sound
Thanks to the inclusion of a K-2T pick up, the Electro Acoustic guitar is the perfect blend of heritage and innovation. Whether you want to play unplugged at home, or amplified to a large crowd, anything is possible.
Take advantage of the two-band equaliser to tweak your tone when performing through an amplifier. You'll be free to adjust the bass and treble to achieve a sound that will suit any environment and can even achieve a mid-frequency boost by applying a low and high pass cut. The integrated tuner eliminates the need for tuning pedals and clip-on tuners, allowing you to streamline your set up whilst maintaining perfect pitch without fail.
