Well, mine's not a parlor, but it's significantly smaller/thinner/lighter than the Fender acoustic I had. And both the size and (I believe) the better quality makes a HUGE difference. It's true that a master can sound good on anything, but I think it's also true that those of us who are definitely NOT masters benefit from gear that doesn't get in the way, literally and tonally.
