Hartwood Villanelle Parlour Acoustic Guitar, Satin Black

Full Description

Small Yet Mighty Parlour Design

Draw inspiration from an old school slender parlour design. This version of the Hartwood Villanelle features a narrow lower and upper bout. The slim design boosts your mid range, with a sweet toned guitar that packs a punch. This age old body shape pushes the sound of the Hartwood Villanelle to the max with a deceptively loud solid tonewood construction. A joy to play, the Hartwood Villanelle parlour guitar is a lightweight offering that is great for travelling, gigging and busking.

Quality Mahogany and Solid Spruce Construction

Produced in Indonesia by master craftsmen, The Hartwood Villanelle range offers quality construction matched with carefully selected high grade materials. The solid engelmann spruce has been chosen to provide sound that emphasises the natural mid-range of an acoustic guitar whilst having the benefit of sounding like a played in, vintage instrument. The choice of solid spruce is also paired with mahogany back and sides to give you an instrument which is built to last and sounds great.

Nato Neck and Black Walnut Fingerboard

Constructed from nato, the Villanelle's neck offers a quick and dynamic response. Nato is a species similar to mahogany that is known for being strong and resistant to moisture. The reliability of this tonewood is also matched with a warm resonant tone, making it a worthy addition to the Hartwood Villanelle. Furthermore, the neck is topped with an American black walnut fingerboard, adding a mellow, warm tone to the guitar's overall sound. The use of this sustainable wood provides a smooth and stable surface great for all playing styles.

Vintage Style Design

Ideal for seasoned players and beginners alike, this affordable and great sounding instrument has looks to match. Complimenting the vintage sound created by the solid engelmann spruce top, the ivory coloured pin stripe binding harks back to a vintage era for a stunning and distinctive instrument, that will help you stand out on stage. The eye-catching Hartwood headstock is combined with a tear-drop style scratchplate complete with Hartwood logo to complete the look. The diecast chrome machine heads have smaller tuning keys to suit the small body, creating excellent tuning stability and looks.
