I recently began building these Parlor guitars. I have studied these old style guitars for years, and learned much about them from
repairing and restoring a whole lot of them. I have developed a real liking for them so I've added them to the group of instruments
I offer.
They are quite small, with a 14 inch width across the lower bout and a 12 fret neck. I use a 24.9 scale. These guitars are
built with many of the features found on the original vintage guitars, like a slotted peghead and a rectangular bridge. I look to
the vintage guitars for my inspiration here.
These make great fingerstyle guitars, and are comfortable for small people.
Please
see the photos below. I'll be posting more photos as I build more of these little guitars. The guitar shown in these photos is made
of brazilian rosewood and adirondack spruce.
