Solid Cedar Top Parlor Guitar
$349 $329
The Kala Solid Cedar Parlor Guitar is a smaller-bodied member of our guitar line with a savory sound. This guitar caters to the songwriter, the recording artist, and even the open mic regular. Its tone is very warm and full-bodied and pleasant without being overbearing due to its Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides. We dressed it with a Walnut binding with a herringbone purfling and a satin finish to give it a traditional, aged look. Each Parlor Guitar comes in a gig bag.

Surprising tone and playability. Must be the cedar top but this thing is warm with plenty of bass which is unusual from a Parlor.
- JAJandy A.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoOne of a kind!
I bought this guitar 4 years ago and fell in love with it since then. This guitar is truly one of a kind for me. I've tried other brands but this guitar has a unique sonic characteristic just a joy to play with. I am planning to order again for backup but it's currently out ofof stock :( I hope they would make more. Kudos! 🙏❤ pardon the crappy playing

- JJamesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoVery nice guitar
This guitar is well made and has a really nice mellow subdued sound due to the cedar top. The tone seems more even across all strings. Definitely not bright and punchy like spruce but it can project sound. The size is just right for it's purpose, couch guitar. The wood feels good. The frets don't need further work, which is nice. Had to lower the saddle 1.5mm for better action. Swapped to ebony bridge pins. Other than that's she's good to go.

OMG. I'm still OMGing from this whole adventure. So, the genius idea, after I finally learned that Nashville tuning isn't scary at all (duh)- I read a review somewhere for "Best bang for the buck" parlor guitars- so I did a BRIEF check on other reviews, then there was no holding me back. I was out of control. So here's the nice guitar, and I tune it up, and whoa...
SUCH tightly- focused midrange. I've only played jumbos and jumbo-ish guitars. And I'm used to the sound of the whole spectrum. But NOW with this NICE little guitar I can REALLY focus in on each note during my fingerpicking. I had NO idea that I was missing this, and stuck. So now, this little "curve ball" I threw myself really ignited something that was stuck. So here I am, JUST having finalized the chords in a song. Its groove is really from the bass-line which REALLY sticks out as "punchy". NEVER woulda guessed that a smaller body could add "punch". 😲 I have NEVER finished a song before! But now I did, and THANKS to you guys. It seems like it needs to be called "Booglyooglin'".
So the funny thing is that I love that tone so much that I'm NEVER gonna put it in Nashville tuning 🤷♂️
