Not sure what price I’d let it go for but wouldn’t be loads. All solid and extremely well built like a little Martin. Think it’s 1940’s. They made a few lower end parlours and mandolins I believe but never seen another like this.
Lower bout is 11”
upper bout 8”
I've a peach of a custom build available which ticks many of your boxes ...

It is close. The neck is a tad wider than 1 3/4", I need it to be narrower. The scale is over over 25", I need it at or preferably shorter. It looks closer to a 000/grand auditorium rather than a 00 ish size.
P.S if I was looking for those specs I would love to play that guitar. Looks lovely. I'm a big fan of Tasmanian Blackwood, at least the one Tas B back and sides I owned with a Sikta Top. Thanks for bringing to my attention in any case!
What's your budget?.
I have two acoustics that might fit the bill but they are at opposite ends of the price scale.
One is a Michael Bashkin OO and the other a Breedlove Parlour.
I need:
The Micheal Bashkin looks out of this world but doesn't fit the specs I need. Budget is £2500 ish
She has had a 2016 Gibson L-00 but would like something that holds up a bit better with strumming and/or just has a little more sustain in quiet moments. She would like the guitar to look pretty as well but we can sort that aftermarket. We have around £2500 to spend for new or second hand.
All I can think of at the moment is a Taylor 712ce ordered with 1 11/16 nut width. Below is what's required. I know most likely a 00 will be winning no strumming awards!!
SPECS NEEDED:
- Smaller than 1 3/4 inch nut. Example, 1 11/16 (42.8mm) or 1 23/32 (43.8mm)
- Around a 00 body size (000 is bigger than i'm looking for).
- 14 Fret Neck Join (not a 12 fret)
- 25 inch or smaller scale length
i have a Taylor 322c (mahogany/Blackwood)
its short scale and has 1 11/16 nut, let me know if it would be of interest - more than welcome to stop by and try it
I'm in the North East. Thanks for message. I think I heard way back in the day Taylor used to make some guitars with 1 11/16 as standard. Few questions. :-)
- Where are you based?
- What year have you got?
- Did you have to order it directly from Taylor with that nut width?
- Does it join the neck join at the 12th or 14th fret.
Thanksbased in Stevenage. 2017 model. Yes was ordered directly with but width. Joins on 14th
