Location: Scotland | A "parlor guitar" has come to mean a small-bodied steel string (around the size of Martin's "0" "00" or smaller) usually with a 12-fret neck & slot headstock. Though up until the early 1930's most parlour guitars would have been gut-strung. |

(btw: Martin is soon to issue an Anderson Limited Edition model - of course) :rolleyes: |

I'm looking for a good Nylon string guitar and this is obviously not it. The one that just finished up Ebay doesn't sound like a good fit for me. |
