GuitarGuitar PSA - All solid acoustic traveller for £229

Deadman · November 2016

Guitar Guitar are banging out these lovely Freshmans for £229 (they're between £349 and £399 elsewhere from what I can see). I've owned a high end Freshman before and it was extremely well built and mine at least sounded great. I'd expect the same with these considering the high spec.

They're solid AA spruce topped with solid mahogany back and sides, rosewood board and bone nut and saddle.There's a natural and burst available. I'm not certain if they come with a case as it's not listed but for £229 I don't mind if I do (edit: they come with a gig bag). I'm going for the burst for a change.

I thought that anybody in the market for a parlour (edit: travel) size would be interested. Here's the link to the burst:

Just a heads up, they aren't traditional parlour dimensions. They are a hybrid body shape. The top and back are travel guitar sized like a Baby Taylor but they are very deep like a dreadnought.

Thanks for that iain, fair point. I got a good idea of the size in the video. It's perfect for what I'm after at the moment.
There's a high res pic of the natural one here. Looks great, the neck looks like it's maple bound:

Not much interest in this then lol.

Not that anyone's interested but mine arrived today and I'm absolutely loving it and can't put it down. It's so highly specced, well made and good looking. The neck is lovely and the action is low with no buzzing. Came with D'Addarios which surprised me.
What a fantastic little guitar for the dosh. I feel like I've stolen it!

Happy NGD! Put pics up. I was tempted I have to say. I wish more people did small guitars with cutaways!

Unfortunately dropbox puts portrait pics in landscape mode, dunno why.

Here's some pics. I like the maple binding. Everything is lovely on it. Should open up in time as well given that it's all solid.

What a lovely looking little guitar, my everyday player is a 50s guild f 20... Small guitars are so good for finger picking, and are really comfy to play.

Howdy, Stranger!
