Gilliangirl Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Wow, I have to say, that is a really sweet-looking guitar. I love it. Never seen one like that before. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks guys (and gal).....Hoss, I presently have those silk and steel strings on it, but am looking to get some Heritage strings from Newtone (and English company) which are all metal and are supposed to be VERY good for these older more fragile, guitars which may have even been origninallly strung with gut.....That being said....It is VERY good sounding with the silk and steel, and I really enjoy the ease of play with this one... Red....it has been refinished at least on the top, new fret board and frets, and new compensated (angled) bridge. Here is a pic of what it (one like it ) looked like BEFORE having the work done on it.....The original owner had the Hawaiian stecil removed in '69 when all the work was done...I have the original bridge, and pickguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodehopper Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 OWF ...that is a real beaut ... I have to admit the modifications (it was kinda cool to start with) make it look like a $4000 custom, but with vintage Mojo too !! I tell you what.... just cause I am a generous kinda guy .......I will give you $20 CASH right now !!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobe1971 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Great lookin parlor! I just picked up an Art and Lutherie Ami to keep at my office (UPS tracking says it will be here Thursday!). I just started playing (bought my first guitar - a 1967 Gibson LG-1 about a month ago) and I'm trying to get all the practice time in I could and didn't want to risk banging up my Gibson by hauling it back and forth to work everyday... If you don't mind me asking, how much did that sweet little parlor set you back? congrats on a great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Player Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Love the look Robert! Parlors have a very sexy look to them..... must be the small curves. Does she sound like she looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Ladder braced, and sounds as good as she looks......Ease of play is beyond words, this is one of the lightest guitars I've ever picked up. It is like a feather. 1 3/4" nut. Modified 'v' neck..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
