Santa Cruz PJ East Indian/Sitka
It is quite hard to make a parlor size guitar that really sings, we have to say that Santa Cruz hit the mark with this PJ model. When you first pick this little beauty up and strike the first chord you will breath taken by just how much voice and tone a little box like this can give. The parlor guitar was originally intended for small intimate settings like a parlor or sitting room, usually soft voiced and small bodied, they never really were intended to go beyond that purpose. This PJ however, could fill up a large room with sound! It has plenty of bark and growl, play some blues or sweet classical music on it, anything really, it will sound great.

2009 Sobell New World Brazilian/European
Stefan Sobell is a world renowned guitar builder from North Umberland England. His guitars are widely regarded as some of the most responsive and powerful available. This is in part due to the fact that Stefan used to perform regularly and found he needed instruments that would fill up the space of an un amplified room. What Stefan did to solve this problem was design a radically different guitar, resulting in an instrument with the cutting power of an archtop but with the sweetness of tone you find with the flat top guitar. One of the main design features of the Sobell guitar is the heavy lateral arching of the top and back, this helps provide power, and also has the unique benefit of making the guitar extremely comfortable to hold. This is the New World model in Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce. This is exactly what we expect from a Sobell guitar, it has power and clarity, with a wonderful warmth that really sets it apart from the pack.
