With an ever growing demand for smaller acoustics, whether its for travelling, for kids or even just to have a convenient acoustic next to the sofa to pick up whilst you're watching Netflix, Parlor guitars have been a growing popular choice. If you aren’t too familiar with what a parlour guitar is, these are one of the oldest acoustics dating back to the late 1800's and one of the first guitars to be made widely popular with steel strings instead of nylon strings.

They were predominately used by musicians for performances in smaller venues such as bars or parlours, hence the name. They tend to have a slightly shorter scale length than a standard acoustic and they have a recognisable elongated body shape which makes them distinguishable from your classic Dreadnought or Concert size. Because of the smaller body they also do tend to have a slightly higher tone with more midrange than bass, this does make these guitars particularly popular for folk, blues and roots guitarists due to the twangy tone.

In this acoustic guitar buying guide, we answer the question "what is a parlor guitar?" and recommend 5 of the best parlor guitars for under £500 from the likes of Gretsch, Tanglewood, Faith, PRS and Epiphone. So if you're looking for a small sized acoustic or the best travel acoustic or an acoustic for kids, take a quick look and listen here with PMTVUK and try one out at your nearest Professional Music Technology store...
