Roasted Spruce and Mahogany for Rich, Balanced Tone The A4 Parlor's tonal character starts with a roasted solid spruce top, which adds warmth, clarity and a slightly aged response right out of the box.

The parlor-sized body enhances the instrument's intimate voice, making it a perfect companion for singer-songwriters, recording artists or anyone looking for a smaller-bodied guitar that still projects with authority and depth. Ergonomic Mahogany Neck With Edgeless Comfort Sire's signature Edgeless rolled fretboard edges make the A4 Parlor a joy to play. The C-shaped mahogany neck feels smooth and inviting, with excellent grip and just the right amount of thickness for both strumming and lead work. A rosewood fingerboard with a 16" radius provides an ideal playing surface, especially for fast chord transitions and delicate fingerstyle passages. The 25.5" scale length and dovetail neck joint add to the guitar's resonance and sustain while preserving excellent playability across all registers.
