Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top Acoustic Guitar
The Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top Acoustic Guitar summons the sounds of the antique guitars from yesteryear in a modern-day construction through a slew of attractive features like a comfortable C-shaped neck, easy-playing 24" scale, double-action truss rod, and unique agathis wood body. Designed in the parlor guitar mould which makes it an easy choice for a travel model to bring along to porch jams, the shallower body and smaller size allow for fun, easy strumming with a crisp sound and no hand fatigue. - 15
Gibson LG-2 1946 - 1962

Takamine GY93E New Yorker Acoustic-Electric Parlor Guitar
The Takamine GY93E "New Yorker" is a parlor-sized acoustic-electric guitar that, while small, is not short on tone or playability. The GY93E has a focused, articulate sound that's made parlor guitars so popular with singer-songwriters and studio musicians with a solid spruce top, rosewood sides and a stunning 3-piece back made of rosewood and quilted maple. The mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard is fast, comfortable and a joy to play When it's time to hit the stage, the built-in TK-40D electronics beautifully transmit the pure sound of this guitar to your amplifier or the PA system. - 38

Washburn R314KK Spruce/Trembesi Parlor Guitar Natural

Finished with a rope purfling and vintage inlay design, this instrument can become a fast old friend for porch strumming sessions. - 84
