Larrivee P-05 Mahogany Parlor Guitar, 2012

On January 28, 2023 /

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.

Gibson L1 Robert Johnson Steel String Sunburst, 2005

On May 21, 2021 /

Based on the very popular L-1 model launched in 1926, the Gibson L1 Robert Johnson reproduces the look, feel and most importantly the sound of a guitar used by the legendary blues guitarist. The Gibson L1 was introduced in 1902 and built as an arched top, round soundhole model until 1925. In 1926, it was re-introduced as a flat top, along with the very similar L-0 Mahogany top model. The L-1 was built until 1937, while the L-0 was dropped in 1933 and then re-introduced in 1937 and built until 1942 (but with a Spruce top). Both models were replaced by the J-45.
