Description

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Collings Parlor 1T is a steel-string acoustic guitar that embodies the rich tradition of parlor guitars with modern enhancements. Designed for both intimate settings and grand performances, this guitar offers a warm, resonant tone that is ideal for fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters alike. Its smaller body size ensures comfort while playing, without compromising on sound quality or projection.

In terms of acoustics, Ronnie has some guitars by Martin and Collings—a C10 and a Parlor 1 T. But give him even the least expensive Squier and he’ll sound every bit as good. The tone is in his hands.
