Model A

The parlor model A offers a clear and powerful sound, with a strong treble response. An excellent fingerpicking guitar, but also suited to plectrum style Jazz and Swing. It is available with 12 or 13 frets to the body. I really love the Maple model A - the timber lends a softness that small guitars can often lack. Cutaway option.
A sound sample can be found here.
