Default New build- Fred Tellier Maple & Engelmann Parlor

2012, Montréal guitar show : I play a «*small jumbo*» from Fred Tellier (fetellier member here). 2014, Freds builds me one, Maple/Engelmann. Fabulous instrument.

2018, Québec guitar show: I play a parlor guitar from Fred. 2020, guess what ?

Fred has started to collect and work the woods that will become a Maple/ Engelmann parlor. Whereas my SJ maple was quilted, this time the guitar will have curly maple B/S. All binding, armrest and scooped cutaway in ebony. I love the contrast of a «black & white» guitar.

Other specs : Curly maple neck laminated with ebony and plain maple. Ebony bridge, fingerboard and peghead.
1.8’ nut width. Fred will work out string spacing to accommodate my chubby fingers.
Sound port. The sound port on the parlor makes a huge difference to me when compared with my SJ.

So here is a first picture, with lots more to come...
