Description

The Gibson Parlour Rosewood EC in Rosewood Burst delivers a surprisingly big, balanced acoustic voice from a compact, ultra-comfortable body. Inspired by a scaled-down SJ-200 silhouette, it blends classic Gibson looks with a smaller footprint that is easy to hold, easy to play, and ideal for both home use and the stage. With a solid Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, and the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it offers a rich, articulate tone that translates beautifully when amplified. Built using Gibson’s renowned acoustic construction methods, this parlour-sized electro acoustic offers warmth, clarity and impressive projection that belies its size. The cutaway body gives you effortless access to the upper frets, while the Advanced Response neck profile and satin nitro finish create a fast, inviting feel under the fingers. Whether you are an electric player looking for a familiar-feeling acoustic, or you simply prefer a more manageable alternative to a dreadnought, the Parlour Rosewood EC is designed to make you want to play for longer. Visually, the Rosewood Burst finish, multi-ply top binding and mother-of-pearl inlays deliver unmistakable Gibson style in a more intimate format. Under the hood, traditional scalloped X-bracing, a compound dovetail neck joint and a radiused top work together to maximise resonance and responsiveness. Every nuance of your playing is captured, from delicate fingerstyle to more percussive strumming, with the rosewood body adding depth and low-end richness. When it is time to plug in, the Baggs HiFi DNA system comes into its own. Using twin bridge-plate sensors and individually voiced preamps, it provides a natural, full-range amplified sound that stays true to the guitar’s acoustic character. With discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, you can shape your live sound quickly and intuitively, while enjoying excellent resistance to feedback and a consistent performance night after night. Compact Body, Big Gibson Voice The Parlour Rosewood EC’s small-body design is inspired by a scaled-down SJ-200, giving you the comfort and intimacy of a parlour guitar with the presence and projection associated with larger Gibson acoustics. It is particularly welcoming for players who find dreadnoughts cumbersome, yet it still delivers a full, rounded tone that works for songwriting, recording and performance. Solid Sitka Spruce and Rosewood Tonewoods A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides provides a classic, versatile tonal platform. Spruce offers clarity, headroom and dynamic range, while rosewood enhances low-end warmth and overall depth. The result is a guitar that responds beautifully to different playing styles, from light fingerpicking to hard strumming, with impressive balance across the frequency spectrum. Comfortable Advanced Response Neck The mahogany neck is carved to Gibson’s Advanced Response profile and finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer, striking a sweet spot between slim and substantial. Combined with a bound rosewood fretboard and a 16-inch radius, it feels immediately familiar under the hand, making chord work, melodic lines and bends feel effortless, especially for players coming from electric guitars. Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system uses two lightweight bridge-plate sensors and individually optimised preamps to capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice. It delivers a detailed, full-range amplified tone with excellent gain-before-feedback, so your sound remains clear and controlled on louder stages. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments within easy reach while remaining visually unobtrusive.
