Player Reviews:
"I know this guitar well and have heard the owner, a friend of mine, play it many times. It was his main axe for playing blues for a few years so it's played in and sounding great. If you love the spank and power of a parlor, this is for you and at this price your wife won't even get upset!" - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great little guitar for blues or ragtime playing. It has that vintage feel and it already sounds old. Lots of character." - Al Petteway
