Dusty Wooddell Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I recently picked up my '18 AG Parlor Cutaway and I love it. I'm not entirely sure what differs between this AG model and last year's HP 665, but nonetheless, this little guitar produces big sound, as promised. The neck is fast and easy to play bluesy riffs on. Regarding the Richlite fretboard, I didn't have anything against it prior to purchasing this guitar, and having played on it for a few hours now, I can say with certainty that I have zero issues with Richlite - I'll leave that discussion alone for now. The fit and finish of the guitar are nearly perfect, with my only complaint (not really a complaint) being the amount of orange peel left unbuffed on the neck. I'm sure that will smooth out with time, and it really is minimal and a non-issue for me. Anyway, here are a few pictures I was able to snap of it a few evenings ago.

Jinder Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Next year at some point I'm going to be after a top end parlour. I'm not one for cutaways but this looks so sweet I could lick it! How does she sound? Any chance of a clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Wooddell Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'll try to get to recording one at some point in the near future. I enjoy the playability of a cutaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I like the playability aspect but I can't hang with the visual aspect of a cutaway on a jumbo or dread. It looks cute on a little micro jumbo like this though! It seems identical to the HP665, does the AG have the richlite board and bridge? I was on the fence about Richlite initially but loved the feel of the Richlite on my Martin 00DB Jeff Tweedy. Silky and fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Wooddell Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Yeah, Richlite for both. Besides the color of the label inside, I can't tell a difference between the HP and the AG visually. Perhaps someone else will chime in. Personally, I love the way the board feels. I'm not against it at all. People tend to appose new materials used to replace traditional ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I haven't had such irrational GAS for a modern model for a long time. Really love the look and sound of these, based on the YouTube vids I've seen.😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
