We've developed a real soft spot for this little Parlour from Stephen Kinnaird since it arrived. Incredibly comfortable, fun to play and sounds far bigger than its small footprint, there's a lot to love about this guitar.
Featuring an outrageous set of English Brown oak for the back and sides paired with an Engelmann spruce top, this wood combination helps Stephen's design to provide a big sound with plenty of bass for such a small instrument.
The guitar has a Spanish cedar neck topped by an ebony fingerboard. There's an abundance of tasteful and subtle decoration in the form of holly binding, black and white purfling and a backstrip and rosette of marquetry designed with a 'St. Cross' pattern.
