Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a left-handed small-body cutaway, the Parlor Rosewood EC pairs a Sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides. Its 19-fret, 24.75-inch neck uses Gibson’s Advanced Response profile, a rosewood fingerboard, and a satin nitrocellulose finish. The L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle system adds active amplification, with volume and tone controls mounted at the soundhole. A modern hardshell case is part of the package for transport and storage.

- Players who use upper-register parts and want the access provided by a cutaway body.
Consider the trade-offs
