New OO Parlor Build

[Michael Baresi]

Heres my latest build.
Plays nice. 5/64 action at the 12th.
Intonation is very good.
I really like the sound.

Englemann top
Indian Rosewood b & s
Mahogany neck
Rosewood fretboard and bridge.
24.9 scale
There are some imperfections. (Working on that ! ) but they are all cosmetic.
I guess I'll have to build another one.

Looks really nice. Great job. Maybe a bit too much direct lighting in the pictures though, the top is bleached out

Yeh I'm not much of a photographer. I take them outside and use the sun as lighting. Sometimes it works and sometimes they look bleached.

That's a beautiful guitar. I assume you call it a "parlor" because it's smaller than an 000 or dreadnaught, not because you built it in the parlor.

For those of us into guitar history, and/or small guitars, an 00 is a mid-size guitar. Next smaller size is 0. Then there are the parlors, smaller yet.

But whatever you call it, it's a very successful build!

Thanks and also thanks for correcting me. Seems I have fallen victim to the common usage of "parlor" to designate anything smaller than a dreadnought.
What I built is a OO from the LMI plans. (and you're right its not a parlor)
