Yo, Haans that tinny waist and big lower bout reminds me of me second wife. Not mention that your little parolur and her are both real sexy little things, both very nice. The nice things about sexy guitars is that they don't up and leave you high and dry like sexy wives. Oh well. Is a nice build blessings  Padma |

Lovely little guitar! I like the 'Morse code' purfling/rosette and the ivoroid end wedge. Nice 'trad' look, very clean . Not sure how I feel about all you guys 'raising the bar' on taste/quality, though!! ![[uncle]](./images/smilies/surrenderflagqv6.gif "Uncle") Cheers John |

Is the oak stained? Ebonized? How did you get that color? Thanks Richard |

I will throw my compliments out to you, too. Beauty. I recently acquired some White Oak for tonewood, too, and am looking forward to trying it out. I wonder how it will be for classicals... |

Very nice!!! I love that vintage look. Your choice of purfling/rosette is fantastic. I've done one white oak, and will certainly do it again. Great job. Ron |

Another timeless classic Haans! I just did my first piece of Q S White Oak furniture. Sure is pretty wood. Everyone should own at least one parlour. Now you have two. Glad to hear you like it so much. So how 'bout a bracing shot huh? Thanks for sharing that. As usual, your work is very inspiring. All The Best, Danny |

Hanns That is a classic in every way. It look like a brand new 100 year old parlor. Love to hear a sound clip . What about one of the Braz/Adi as well ? Regards Craig. |

Stunning for sure. Would you tell us what the stain is or how you got the color to be what it is? Chuck |
