[Dino Silone]

I’ve been sort of obsessed with the sound of the old Stella and other birch parlor guitars lately, and the used ones available are either going for silly money, are in need of full neck resets, or both. I know there are other, newer parlor guitars available that get a pretty vintage sound, though probably not the characteristic “all-birch” sound.

But lets say I wanted to make an all-birch parlor guitar. Where would you find tops, and back/side sets. I’ve searched the usual suspects, and haven’t seen any.

If it’s not available, what would a close substitute be (for tops and for back/sides)?
