Chris Jenkins and his son Jeremy Jenkins walk to the beat of a different drummer and that's a good thing. They create unique, funky and fun instruments with tons of vibe and style. This Saddle Pal parlor guitar is a great example. Christina Lavin and Todd Hallawell regularly use theirs and as Todd says "it must have a supercharger in it" because they have such a surprisingly strong voice for a small guitar. This particular Saddle Pal raises the bar with its Madagascar Rosewood and Redwood body, Maple neck and trim and incredible details including the elaborate headplate and abalone border on the fingerboard and top. The top itself is gorgeous Redwood with a Quilted Maple shoulder where the soundports reside, in addition there are two ports on the driver's side for a full voice to the player. The Jenkins Saddle Pal also makes a great travel guitar as it's only 38.5" in length and features an adjustable action that can be modified under tension. Never be without a great guitar again!

Player Reviews:
"Chris and Jeremy Jenkins are great people and have a passion for the craft and life in general. They are the kind of guys you'd like to hang out and play music with and that energy exists in their guitars and gitjos as well. This Saddle Pal is the finest we've seen, premium woods, stunning appoinments and big, big voice in a small Parlor guitar sized package. This is a rare guitar that you can fit in an airplane, hike with and then get on stage and sound like a million bucks. " - Paul Heumiller
