Most high end mini guitar you can buy?
I have a martin LX1 which is cute, also know about the Taylor GS Mini. My question is are there any high end versions of these from small shops or luthiers?
|
Of course there are. How much do you want to spend, what kinds of wood?
|
The firefly by santa cruz? Thats the most expansive I can think of.

As you go higher up the ladder, the possibilities are endless in terms of customization. You can choose wood, scale, and a host of other design options. And there are parlor sized options from builders like Larrivee and others.

From small shop builders there is the Collings baby and Santa Cruz firefly. As for individual luthiers Laurent Brondel makes a D-5 which is an early ditson inspired design the size of a Martin 3. Michi Matsuda also does a modified mini parlor guitar. I am sure there are a lot of other luthiers making parlor guitars but those are the two that immediately come to mind.
Hope this helps. |
The firefly goes from 3000 used to over 6000+ if you custom order one with a lot of upgrades.

A Collings Baby will set you back a fair amount.
http://www.collingsguitars.com/baby-series.html Or even this 0 body 12 string http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fuVJ...ature=youtu.be For a travel guitar you could check out the Brunner Outdoor Guitar (now called the B-Compact). http://www.brunner-guitars.com/?page_id=1384 I am sure others make them too. |
The Beorgois Piccolo Parlor is another.

I think I have it!!!
I'm reintroducing my "original" Voyage Air shape (both folding and not) not to be confused with Voyage Air B size this one was only used on the prototype. 24" scale length, 13.25 lower bout, 17.25 body length... as far as price goes, it's only $6500.00 but the list of options could easily add another zero to that... :D |
I have a Custom Shop Martin 7-28 which is about the same size as a GS Mini. Wonderful guitar.
