SORTED - WTB a handmade parlour/small bodied acoustic

Castro

By small, I mean having a lower bout that is no more than 13.5" wide.

Budget is open-ended for the right guitar.

Thanks.

Hi,

I can heartily recommend a Prohaskza parlour guitar. They're incredible little instruments. I've got 3 that I'm selling, one with a German Spruce top and Koa back and sides, one with  Sitka/flamed Mango Wood and one with Sitka/Black Limba.

I know some people on here had some comments on the latter one, saying it was tacky due to the inlay work, but they completely missed the point of it really as a playful piece of dark humour art and also a stunning instrument.

I also have a custom Huss & Dalton 00, which is an all Mahogany model but is voiced so fantastically that you'd swear it was spruce. Completely blew my mind!

Gimme a shout if you wanted to try any of them out.

Cheers!

Signor Castro - I am still in possession of a truly delightful grand parlour guitar with the most magnificent figured sapele back and sides built by John Osthoff.  I purchased this from a gentleman with impeccable taste in handmade instruments and it continues to serve me very well indeed.  I just thought it might be an opportune moment to remind you that you never know what you've got until it's gone ...
I trust all is well with you and wish you the very best of luck with your new search. 
All the best, Steve.

@sputnik you are absolutely right. I do miss the Osthoff; not the first time I've let go of a great guitar.

Good news though, I have an Atkin Dust Bowl parlour arriving tomorrow and it's a little cracker.

Castro

@ditchboy thanks for the suggestion but I'm now sorted.

Castro

Thanks @pjf Atkin electrics are fabulous too.
