NGD Parlor Guitar

Finally after four days of waiting it has arrived. First the UPS guy misunderstood something and just drove by without knocking, I had to call back and demand he turned around, they said he would leave it at nearest access point I said alright.

So instead of sitting being frustrated I left to do a set of workout, suddenly I get a text that the package is ready to be picked up. Perfect, I even got a set in.

The guitar in question is a Framus FP 14 M VS Parlor/Parlour. I've been wanting to have an acoustic this size for a while now, was looking around for a cheap one last week and found bunch of good ones like Harley Benton with a tree of life inlay over the board, but this one caught my attention.

For a price point of only 300 this thing is punching above it's weight. Solid mahogany top, nice figured mahogany back, mahogany neck. Premium 15:1 tuners, bone nut and saddle that are cut really good, the action is low and nice. The neck doesn't even need to be adjusted, I picked it out and tuned it, it plays absolutely great.

Now some places said, while I was doing my research that these have ebony board and bridge while others said rosewood. Looking at mine I'm 99.9% this one has ebony board and bridge, it even feels like ebony.

I thought it would sound small and boxy but it has a very big and open sound.

 

Thanks, I really recommend this one. The fret job is impeccable, the saddle is real bone and it's compensated. Even the string pins are made of real ebony. The back of the neck is satin, the body is gloss.

There was one exactly like it with low end Fishman pickup for a little more money, but I chose this instead. If I want to amplify it I'll just stick a mic in front I thought.

 

Right! Thanks man! I love that sunburst, it looks perfect

 

It comes in solid spruce top also if that's what you prefer. Good luck hope you find a good parlor

 

Is it mahogany top or spruce? Martin makes really nice parlors but too pricey for me.

 

I beginning to fear I was going to be let down, but man this guitar is absolutely amazing.

Thanks Tery! Thank you all for waiting with me

 

Good stuff! I had one of their 000 sized Mexican ones, great guitar.
