Five Body Styles - Parlor, FS, GC, D & Jumbo
- The Parlor is our smallest guitar and has 24 1/2 inch scale and is joined exclusively at the 12th fret with a shot scale (125/8 X 18 X 3 7/8) Built in a baroque style and a joy to play.
- The New FS (Finger Style) is a smaller, more intimate guitar. (15 X 19 X 4) Available in 12 fret, short or long scale, or 14 fret, long scale.
- The GC is a size that is in between the FS and the D (15 1/2 X 19 1/2 X 4 1/2)Available in 12 or 14 fret.
- The D is a dreadnought (16 X 20 X 47/8) but with a smaller, nicer looking waist which nestles the guitar more comfortably on your lap. Made for medium gauge strings.
- The Jumbo (16 5/8 X 20 1/2 X 4 1/2) is a large bodied instrument suitable for more aggressive playing but is also well suited for fingerstyle playing if you don’t mind the larger body size. This is the body used for our baritone guitar.
Note: 4 body styles (FS, GC, D & Jumbo) are all available with a cutaway as an option, but not the parlor. Only the New FS is available with a Florentine cutaway.
