At long last, the parlors have arrived! Slender from top to bottom, their striking profile is inspired by our favorite early Martin/Ditsons, hence the nickname. And like our other Troublesome Creek models, we offer these in a stunning spectrum of premium domestic tonewoods. Our Balanced Fulcrum Bridge has been reimagined into a delicate swept pyramid. All of our guitars have soundhole-adjustable, two-way truss rod systems and our new fish-glued top bracing.
