Location: Phoenix AZ | I don't think there is any rigid definition of what's Parlor sized and what's not. My Steve Howe is a 00 14 fret body which is larger than the '07 Collector, Tak417 or other guitars ore commononly called "parlor". The 0 size body, such as the Ian Anderson model would be closer to what I would call a true "parlor" sized Martin. Dave |

Being the new grand-parent of TJs '97, I have to 'ditto' all the positives above. It's now my 'go to' git when I'm in that 'day-um, I haven't heard that song in forty years or if I did, I don't remember...' mode. 
Having small hands elevates my appreciation of the narrow neck. My hands thank me after putting 'em through the Richard Simmons  "Dancin' to the Oldies" on my Classic, especially when I remove the spandex gloves!  |

That's the volume control for the pre-amp I said. :rolleyes:
I didn't even know it was acoustic-electric says he.
Can you check the pre-amp for me please?
No sound just a buzz.
Can you put in a new battery and get back to me?
(One hour later) It still doesn't work. We'll send it to be repaired and get back to you. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The difference between us, TJ, is that I don't sell any. I did buy another acoustic amp last night. The ban only relates to guitars. I bought the 83 Collector's about a week ago, but I'm calling that my daughter's. I have some training in finding loopholes. I have no shortage of guitars, iffy. I'm actually trying to spend a little more time playing them than I spend looking at deals. |
