Walnut Parlor Not Available! Grrrrrrrr

[dennq]

Just recieved a dissapointing email from my dealer. No more Walnut Parlors. I guess its Mahogany or Rosewood. Help me decide. Which one works better.    :(

Another alternative is koa..last time I checked, Dave (GA) still had a couple of all koa satin parlors..(I've never played walnut though so I can't offer a comparison tone-wise).

I'd recommend patience. I am not certain how many times the dealers on this site have gotten the last of some type of guitar. I think we have probably seen at least 7 or 8 last of the jumbos, last of the maples, last of the this or that. With the amount of time between start and finish of guitars, they occasionally find bodies which need to be finished, or blanks of wood to use up. Be patient and you'll get what you want, either new or used.

My dealer ,  (The 12th Fret) sent an email to Larrrivee and they said they have no Walnut Parlors and Jean has no plans to buy any more wood. I really dont want to deal with Canada Customs by bringing the guitar over from the States.

just because he has no plans on making anymore, doesn't mean that somewhere in his shop is a walnut parlor which is half completed and forgotten, or that he may find a couple of blanks of wood which he decides to use. He's allowed to change his mind.

A guitar store I do a lot of business with (bought 5 guitars from him), Cathedral Music in Troy NY, is listing a new P09 Walnut parlor. He's usually pretty good about the selling price. His web site is http://www.cathedralmusic.com/products.html, ask for Klem, and let him know Andy Ferguson sent you his way.

Good luck, and again be patient.
