The Art & Lutherie Roadhouse (the cousin of the Seagull Entourage Grand) is on my radar right now. The difference (aside from color and the headstock shape) is that the A&L has a 12-fret neck joint, and the Seagull has a 14-fret joint.

I'm surprised by the mango grain, it looks terrible. Mine has excellent rosewood back and sides, spruce top. The sound quality for its size is one of those 'too hard to believes'. I'm not big on the headstock aesthetic, but that's a trifle.

I thought that too, and wondered about the stability of it. It looks beautiful overall. You must be pleased with yours, thanks for sharing.

So now that I'm back in the market for a parlor, here are some early candidates:
- Art & Lutherie Roadhouse (probably the favorite at the moment) - Simon & Patrick Songsmith Parlor (pretty much identical to A&L) - Seagull Entourage Grand (14-fret) - Faith Mercury (not much availability in NA; scale a little shorter than desired) - Furch Little Jane (expensive, will be a long shot) Again, the 24.5"~25.5" scale length is the main physical constraint. Anything else I should be considering?

I presume you'd like to spend <$300.
You might consider a Ukelele. I have two and enjoy traveling with the less expensive one. There are now Ukelele "mutations" with 6 strings as well (Guitelele's). Here's an interesting take on this concept, from a posting over in the AGF Classifieds. https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=552249 older Baby Taylor's are inexpensive and I feel they are decent travel mates. I'm on my 2nd one (traded the 1st for a ukelele!). John

I bought a bass ukulele about a year ago, but I haven't done much with it since. Maybe I should just sell/trade that for a ukulele.
