With over 45 years of experience, Bruce Petros and his son Matt are have built some of the richest, most distinctive guitars available, and this little 2013 12-fret parlor might be our favorite! And not just for the appointments, which have a delightfully Tolkienesque flair. The combination of redwood and walnut is beautiful and rich, with an immediate response and a darker, woody character that lends itself to folky, modal arrangements and vocal accompaniment. The winding vine theme carries from the rosette to the purfling to the backstrip, and even on to the engraved tuner buttons, truss rod cover, and bridge pins.
Cosmetic condition is excellent. It comes in a TKL hard case.
