Add to CompareBoaz Nylon String Travel Guitar Indian/Spruce
Boaz designed this guitar not as a toy travel guitar but a small, easily transported, top quality instrument with the feel of a ‘real’ concert guitar. The case is very small and easy to carry on a plane but the fingerboard has feel and playability of a fine concert guitar. The tone is bigger than expected and satisfying for hotel room or mountain top. This very guitar was featured on the cover of Acoustic Guitar Magazine as well.

Warmth and clarity are interwoven for a crisp, enveloping voice in a petite, easy-playing package. Our latest, brand new Ivanov Snow Parlor continues Dontcho’s all-white motif with Lutz Spruce on top and figured European Maple everywhere else. Waverly tuners with Snakewood buttons and red purflings around the rosette help set off the whole package, with EVO frets for longevity and a (you guess it) white Boblen hardshell case. We love how Dontcho teases a lot of color and response out of the trebles, and the individual note definition allows for big chords to ring out in technicolor brilliance.

Add to Compare2018 Ivanov Snow Parlor, Flamed Maple & Swiss Alpine Moonspruce
Maple loves company! Especially when it’s more Maple. Dontcho Ivanov’s ever popular Snow Parlor guitars are a study in blazing white, and the latest one to grace our shop comes to us with a Swiss Alpine Moonspruce top and Flamed Maple everywhere else. From the back and sides to the bindings, the neck to the fretboard, the bridge to the headstock, this Ivanov Snow Parlor is practically a Maple tree unto itself. Everywhere you can see Dontcho’s exquisite attention to detail, right down to the purflings on the wings of the bridge. Under the hood, Dontcho doesn’t slouch: this is a loud and powerful guitar by any measure, but especially so for a Parlor. It is a fantastic addition to any guitarist’s collection, but even more than that this Snow Parlor is an excellent choice for just about any mood you happen to find yourself in. And all that wrapped up in with a trim fighting weight of 3lbs 5oz!
Be warned: the Snow Parlor doesn’t linger on our doorstep for long. Snag this one before it’s gone!

Here we have one of Chris Jenkins’ travel guitars that he playfully calls the Saddle Pal. This model features a small, but deep, body that offers up a throaty growl and a voice bigger than it’s size. The neck is fully adjustable so as you travel you can be guaranteed to have great action. The neck is also laminated for added stability. If you are after a travel guitar that can fit in the overhead but offer up a big voice when you get where you’re going, this is it.

Add to Compare2003 Martin Custom Shop 00, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
This Martin Custom 00 sunburst in Brazilian Rosewood and Red Spruce is going to be hard to beat for blues and ragtime music; it’s got that great bark and warmth which is just right for those styles of music. The frequencies are all even and controlled across the board on this guitar, so if you are a fingerpicker you’re in for a treat! Up and down the neck, tone and playability are even and consistent, just the way we like it. This Martin strays from the pack slightly with is beautiful sunburst, the kind of dark burst we would normally associate with a Gibson-style instrument, but boy does it look good on this Martin!
With more thundering bass under the hood than you’d believe possible, this 00 is perfectly set up with a smooth neck profile, effortless action, and slightly wider nut to lend a little more room to those complex left-hand positions.

Add to Compare1890 Martin 1-26, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
For this guitar, we have to go back all the way to 1890, when Franz Sulzner ordered a custom 1-26 from the Martin guitar factory. Documented on page 85 of Philip F. Gura’s “C.F. Martin and His Guitars,” this 1-26 appears with a note explaining Sulzner’s connection with the Martin business. This was to be a size 1 guitar, the largest that Martin built in the nineteenth century (“ladies guitars” and smaller came as 2s, 3s, and so on).
While a standard 26 style in many ways, this guitar was customized in the factory per Sulzner’s requests to include an Ivory-bound fretboard and fret markers. The Ivory bindings and “half herringbone” top trim are standard to the 26 style, but to our knowledge no others 26-style guitars from this period feature Ivory bindings across both the body and fretboard. Of course the friction tuning pegs are also Ivory, and the back and sides are Brazilian Rosewood. Adirondack Spruce on top.
Suffice it to say, this 1890 Martin 1-26 has no twin anywhere across the planet: a piece of history in a category to itself.

Add to Compare2016 Matsuda Parlor, African Blackwood/Italian Spruce
Michi Matsuda’s eye is unparalleled in the field; ditto for his ear. This 2016 Parlor proves that on both counts. Each detail is executed cleanly and with an original aesthetic that nods to both Japanese stylings and Viennese Stauffer designs. African Blackwood back and sides plus Italian Spruce on top, elevated fingerboard and doubly carved heel–then at the headstock we find custom Wenge tuner buttons married to miniature Gotoh geared tuners that are hidden beneath an engraved metal backplate.
