These parlors are some of our very favorite guitars we receive new, from Goodall or anyone else. With dimensions more suggestive of something like a deepbody 0/00, the model just puts out more than something its size has any right to. This particular combination of Adirondack/Cocobolo and the 14 fret neck makes for a brilliant, super overtone-y, crystalline voice that rings incredibly clearly from bass to treble. It's a guitar full of surprises, too. Throw it in an alternate tuning, even just drop D, and experience a magic trick-like increase in presence and sustain. Experimenting with different right hand approaches in different positions up and down the neck yields a range of timbres and subtlety that's nothing short of symphonic. A guitar like this can teach you things. This is what it's all about, folks!

A small guitar with big sound!
In response to our customers desire for a smaller instrument with the voice of a larger guitar, James Goodall has introduced two new elegant designs which comprise the Parlor series. The reception of the Parlor series at the 1999 Summer Nashville NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show was phenomenal.
"Everyone was amazed at the fullness and richness of tone as well as their punchy clarity. Some even thought they projected as well as a Dreadnought model."
The Parlor series guitar has a shorter 25" scale length. It has a scaled down bridge, peghead and sound hole. It is available in a 12 or 14 fret neck joint with a non slotted peghead or an optional 12 fret neck joint with slotted peghead* and bronze patina Waverly tuners. The 12 fret model has a sweet, round and responsive voice similiar in tone to a classical guitar. The 14 fret model has a little more punch and clarity in the mid range, and is very similiar to our Grand Concert series instrument.
James Goodall represents an artisan who is at the pinnacle of his profession. Superb craftsmanship, an exacting finesse for detail and wood choice, combined with robust, three dimensional sound character -- these are qualities which embody every James Goodall guitar.
Few who endeavor in musical instrument making are capable of consistently maintaining a high level of precision and excellence along with superior tonal character in every instrument. Discerning eyes and ears will find the substance of all these qualities in every James Goodall instrument.
