1890s Bay State Ditson Parlor

Description It’s always a joy to handle an instrument from the 19th century; there simply is no substitute for a well-aged guitar that’s been carefully shepherded for more than a century. This Boston-made Bay State Ditson Parlor is an incredible instrument; it is so light, and the sound it produces is impressive: Sweet, rich, and supple with tons of harmonics and a lovely vintage character. It is in impeccable shape, and it plays beautifully with a recent bridge reglue. Whether you are looking for a couch picker or an instrument to pull inspiration from, this one is a no-brainer.
