Description

The left-handed Gibson Parlour Rosewood EC with Baggs HiFi DNA in Rosewood Burst delivers big, inspiring acoustic tone from a compact, ultra-comfortable body. Marrying classic Gibson small-body styling with modern playability and premium electronics, it is a superb choice for left-handed players who want a smaller guitar that still sounds rich, full and effortlessly professional on stage or at home. Inspired by a scaled-down SJ-200, this parlour-sized electro acoustic feels instantly familiar yet refreshingly manageable, especially if you are coming from electric guitars or find full-size dreadnoughts a bit unwieldy. A solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides provide warmth, clarity and impressive low-end depth, while the cutaway design opens up the upper frets for melodic lines and solos. Plugged in, the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system captures the guitar’s natural voice with outstanding detail and feedback resistance, so your tone stays clear and expressive at any volume. Compact Parlour Body with SJ-200 Inspired Styling The Parlour Rosewood EC takes the iconic curves and aesthetic cues of Gibson’s SJ-200 and scales them into a smaller, more intimate body. This compact shape sits comfortably whether you are seated or standing, making long practice sessions and gigs far less tiring. Despite its size, the radiused top and traditional scalloped X-bracing help the guitar project with surprising volume and balance, so you get a focused, articulate sound that still fills the room. Solid Sitka Spruce and Rosewood for Rich, Balanced Tone A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides gives this guitar a sophisticated tonal character that rewards both light fingerstyle and more aggressive strumming. Spruce brings clarity, definition and dynamic range, while rosewood adds low-end richness, smooth mids and shimmering overtones. The result is a voice that feels much bigger than the body suggests, with enough depth for solo performance and enough balance to sit beautifully in a mix. Advanced Response Neck and Player-Friendly Fretboard The mahogany neck is carved to Gibson’s Advanced Response profile, striking a sweet spot between slim and substantial. It feels fast and familiar for electric players yet reassuringly solid for acoustic work. A satin nitrocellulose finish keeps the neck smooth and non-sticky, while the bound rosewood fretboard with a 16 inch radius and 19 frets offers an easy, modern playing surface. Mother of pearl parallelogram inlays and a matching headstock logo add a touch of classic Gibson elegance every time you look down. Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics for Natural, Stage-Ready Sound The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp. This design captures the full-range acoustic character of the guitar, preserving its natural resonance and dynamics when amplified. You get a warm, detailed sound with gain-before-feedback performance comparable to traditional under-saddle pickups, but with a more organic feel. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you fine-tune your sound on the fly without cluttering the guitar’s clean look. Key Features Comfortable Parlour Body with Cutaway – The compact small-body shape is easy to hold and play, particularly for left-handed electric players or anyone who prefers a more manageable acoustic. The cutaway design gives you confident access to higher frets, ideal for melodic leads and chord voicings higher up the neck. Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Rosewood Back and Sides – A classic tonewood pairing that delivers warmth, clarity and impressive low-end depth. The spruce top responds dynamically to your touch, while the rosewood body adds richness and complexity, giving the guitar a full, expressive voice that belies its size.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

Acoustic Guitar

Acoustic guitars produce their main sound through the vibrating strings and body. This tag includes steel-string, classical and electro-acoustic instruments across several body sizes. Construction, scale length, neck dimensions and an optional pickup system are useful points of comparison.

Left Handed

Left-handed guitars are built specifically for left-handed players, with the body shape, controls, and string orientation reversed to provide a natural and comfortable playing experience. Available across electric, acoustic, classical, and bass styles, they offer the same variety of tones, features, and build quality as right-handed models. Using a properly designed left-handed guitar helps with balance, technique, and confidence, allowing players to focus on developing their sound without having to adapt to an instrument that doesn’t suit the way they play.

Parlour Guitar

Parlour guitars are small-bodied acoustic guitars that originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed for intimate, indoor playing rather than large rooms or stages. Their compact size makes them comfortable to hold and easy to play, with a focused sound that prioritises clarity and balance over volume.

Tonally, parlour guitars are known for a clear midrange, quick response, and a slightly woody or boxy character. They work particularly well for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and early roots music, and are often chosen by players who value detail, dynamics, and a vintage feel, especially for home playing and recording.
