Finally got a parlour guitar (pic)

[Nightfire]

Hey gang, its been awhile for me on these forums, schools been hectic.

I finally bought a parlour sized guitar yesterday. Its an Arth&Lutherie AMI. Handcrafted right here in Canada with all canadian wood. Ironically, you guys in the States only pay $200 for these, we pay $250. In any case, at $250 cnd dollars it's a steal for what this little git puts out. It's the spruce model since that was the one that sounded best out of all of them.

Heres a pic on a chair to give you an idea of the size.

Sound clips my friend.................please? Great score. I may need to pick one up. Do they make a cedar top version? WEbsite? Thanks, Dave.

As long as you're ok with crappy recording quality I can get you some soundclips. My recording gear is incomplete as of late, so I'll have to record with the handheld digital recorder.

Yes, cedar tops as well. Here's the website

Funny, I "rediscovered" my Harmony tenor just yesterday.

I got a blue one of those

Nice guitar!

FWIW, Los Lobos wandered into my friend's guitar shop a couple years ago and bought a handful of those as gifts for friends.

That maker is a steal for the money!

I have always thought they made one of the finest guitars out there, though it always seemed like most people either want something cheaper or they want something a lot more expensive than that...

I had that same guitar but with the cherry top on it a few years ago, paid $100 used, had it for a year and sold it.
