Larrivee P-05 Mahogany Parlor Guitar, 2012

  Larrivee P-05 Mahogany Parlor Guitar, 2012

The Larrivee P-05 Mahogany is classed as a Parlor guitar, with a small body and shorter (24 inch or 610mm) scale length. The compact size of these instruments helps them in tighter spaces – for example, Col. Chris Hadfield took a Larrivee P-01 aboard the International Space Station. The Parlor format was popular in the late 1th century and into the early 20th, when ensemble players started to compete for volume against other players and much louder instruments, particularly banjos.

Godin Multiac Steel Natural HG, 2018

  Godin Multiac Steel Natural HG, 2018

The Godin Multiac Steel is an example of design created to address a practical problem – acoustic feedback at stage volumes. The Multiac series draws from the Gibson Chet Atkins CEC – Cutaway Electric Classical – which allowed Chet to play a nylon string guitar on a full stage without worry of howling feedback. The CEC was followed by steel string versions, but over time they were all removed from production lines.
