Dana Bourgeois picked some special sets of Brazilian Rosewood for this limited edition run of 5 custom Victorian Parlors. Using great sets in his stash that were too small for any other body size. He paired that with a premium set of Aged Tone torrefied Adirondack Red Spruce top. His focus was to bring full attention to the Victorian Parlor, the smallest body size in the Bourgeois line. This might be small and sleak, but it is truly a powerhouse of tone in a small package.
For this limited Edition series, you get a high quality Brazilian Rosewood Aged Tone Adirondack Spruce guitar with Animal Protein (AP) Glue at an unbelievable price. The Ziricote fully bound body, neck and headstock is gracefully matched with the Victorian rope purfling and rosette. The Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay with Gold Waverly tuners just tops off this timeless classic baroque heirloom guitar.
Bourgeois’ smallest body style, the Victorian Piccolo Parlor is not a travel guitar and not a toy. It has a full harmonic and dynamic voice in standard tuning, suitable for solo or ensemble work or vocal accompaniment. Like most Bourgeois models, the Victorian combines old and new designs. The smaller yet elongated 12 fret body is common of a mid 18th century design, but the longer 25″ scale (still considered a short scale for Bourgeois) is actually longer than those found on the classic counterpart. The pyramid bridge and half herringbone “rope” purflings are true to the style with diamond inlays as well. body Serious players have used the Piccolo Parlor to showcase a wide variety of playing styles but have only begun to scratch the surface of its possibilities. Musicians like Sara Watkins, Ricky Skaggs, Ray LaMontagne, and Courtney Hartman to name a few all play them.
The guitar has a bright tone, with clear mids and warm bass. Perfect for home, studio or stage, it’s distinct focused tone will cut through and be heard well with other instruments. If you always have wanted to get a Victorian Parlor, now’s your chance to own #3 out of only 5 at an unheard of price for premium craftsmanship.
