When gorgeous woods and Dontcho Ivanov get together, the result is something you won’t want to miss. We just landed a dynamite Snow Parlor from 2018, this time in European Flamed Maple and Swiss Alpine Moonspruce (what a mouthful). This study in pearly whites is incredible: heaps of body presence and depth to this little buddy’s voice, and the bass and lower mids have an extra dose of crunchy Maple crackle that really leaps out of the soundhole. With a 25 inch scale and 12-fret neck, Dontcho manages a top end that’s clear and bright but not brash (the downfall of many a would-be parlor guitar).
Additionally, the neck is European Maple, as is the bridge, fingerboard, bindings, headplate, and truss rod cover. Clearly, Dontcho’s relationship with Maple runs deep. Of course there are also Snakewood knobs on the Waverly tuners and a red-bound crow’s feet rosette which offsets the creamy expanse of Spruce surrounding it. EVO frets? Why not!
Ivanov voiced the top for added note separation and clarity. This Snow Parlor is teeming with energy, but it maintains composure to keep the voice clean and smooth, not harsh. If you’re looking for a Parlor to end all Parlors—this snow comes from up on high.

In the Snow Parlor, Dontcho Ivanov has created something truly unique in the guitar world with a crisp, white aesthetic and tone far bigger than the size belies. Maple and Alpine Spruce combine here in a gorgeous contrast, and also make for a clear and open voice. You close your eyes it’s hard to believe this is a parlor guitar, but you'll want your eyes open so as not to miss the many fine details across the entire instrument. Every time you look at this one, you discover something new.
