Hi
Anyone have any info advice on a parlour guitar mostly for blues plectrum and Fingerstyle. Have seen and tried a number of models/makes. Tanglewood TW73. Top of my budget really about £650. Vintage Paul Brett models. Sigma all mahogany 00 model. Guild all mahogany. One of those Washburn distressed aged model parlours. Various Takamine New Yorker models, especially the P3NY
Which at about £900 is a bit above my budget. Maybe worth saving for however if I had read very favourable reviews from others. Also the Taylor GS Mini not really a parlour but very small bodied.

Thanks anyone with any experience of the above or other alts. Much appreciated.

I've got a Little Martin, seems fine. Some say it's not a concert guitar and I've never played it in front of an audience but it's well built, nice tone, small, easy to play. The finish is laminated wood which was kind of strange when I got it, but it's very sturdy. They have other finishes as well. Get the model with the built in pick-up.

What is a Parlor Guitar?
Is it a form of Classical Guitar with nylon strings?
