1920s Slotted Headstock Parlor Acoustic | Solid Brazilian Rosewood Back & Sides | Spruce Top | Ebony Fingerboard

Here’s a wonderfully preserved 1920s slotted-headstock parlor guitar that captures everything we love about early American acoustics. Featuring solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides, a spruce top, ebony fingerboard, and ebony bridge, this lightly built ladder-braced guitar delivers a warm, dry, incredibly responsive voice that shines whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming.

It’s an honest vintage instrument that’s clearly been cared for over the last century. Previous restoration work—including cleats and what appears to be a neck reset—has helped preserve its structural integrity, allowing it to remain stable and enjoyable to play today.

The premium tonewoods and tasteful appointments evoke many of the features found on high-end Washburns and Martins from the same era—without the premium price tag.
