The R319SWKK Parlor acoustic guitar from Washburn packs serious big time power in a small parlor-sized 6-string, but don't let its diminutive size fool you. The natural acoustic sound and dynamic range of this little Washburn will astound you. The Washburn Parlor is a small-bodied instrument that sends out a surprising amount of volume and punch for its size. With good blues guitar tabs and this guitar, you'll be playing like a pro in no time!

The popularity of these guitars was at a peak between the last part of the 19th century until the 1950s, nonetheless they are making a strong resurgence. Due to the size and incredible sound projection, a great many blues and folk musicians have used parlor sized guitars such as the Washburn R319SWKK Parlor Guitar with much success through the years and helped to christen them as a true-blue American folk guitar. The secret to its incredible tone and projection is in its wood. The solid spruce top and Trembesi sound box create a tone with great balance with lots of dynamic range, not to mention with a beautiful appearance on top of it all. The dovetail neck joint gives strength to the guitar, and helps the general tone.

The instrument's mahogany neck and the ebony bridge and fretboard add robustness to the instrument and a clear quality to the overall sound. The 24-3/4" scale, 48mm nut width, and V shaped neck offers comfort when accessing the acoustic guitar's 18 frets. Resplendent in an aged satin lacquer, and featuring die-cast tuners and chrome hardware, this guitar has the appearance of something right out of a museum, with a timeless tone that never gets old. Incredibly, the carrying case is almost as good looking as the guitar itself!

After performing finger picking guitar for over 40 years, I've played different guitars and my heavy picking style of playing isn't really suited to a very expensive instrument. What do I mean when I say that? Well, I hit the strings pretty hard, and normally perform amplified, so that the more delicate tones are a bit of a waste of time when I perform. Saying that, the vintage look of the Washburn parlors are very appealing. Firstly, if you are buying, make sure you get the R319SWKK, which has a solid top - some of the other styles come with tops made of laminated wood that don't sound so good. You need that solid top for a great blues guitar tone.

The Washburn isn't top-notch as far as fitments and finish go, but it looks great with it's vintage look and distressed finish. Have it set up professionally, and use either medium or light gauge strings, depending on your playing style. Medium gauge strings give a particularly balanced sound for the blues. The V shaped neck and the small body size make this a very comfortable guitar to play. Once again, the overall look is terrific - it's like a museum piece! It isn't the best parlor out there by any stretch, but for great punchy sound, feel and fun, you get a lot for your buck.
