Preston Thompson / 0-style All Mahogany 12-fret Parlor / Guitar

Preston Thompson Size 2 Parlor Guitars are based upon a vintage 1892 model owned by Preston. That particular Parlor guitar was built for gut strings, so when the Thompson Size 2 was developed we changed the wood thicknesses and bracing to accommodate steel strings. The Thompson 2-MM with its mahogany back, sides and top is Preston Thompson's version of one of the very first production steel string guitars ever made. By the way a Size 2 is a real parlor. Back in the 1800s known as 'The Ladies' Model with only 12" body width. (that's only 30.4cm) The popularity of these “Little Big Guitars” was immediate. They are so fun to play you simply cannot put them down. Their fun factor may only be surpassed by their sweet tone and incredible volume. This model has been so popular that in addition to the all mahogany models mentioned above, Thompson also made a half dozen custom instruments out of a variety of wood combinations including mahogany with red spruce tops, Brazilian rosewood with Lutz spruce tops and myrtle wood with red spruce tops. All of them have been impressive guitars, each with a unique voice suited to a variety of playing styles, from blues and ragtime to folk and finger style. This was the guitar that Jimmie Rodgers “The Singing Brakeman” played and made famous. They’re special and very fun instruments.   Parlor Model 2-MM 45.5mm nut width 632mm scale (24.9") 60mm stringspacing (2 3/8") Mahogany top, back and sides Slotted headstock with Thompson mother of pearl logo inlay Figured ebony headstock overlay Natural nitrocellulose finish Classic single ring rosette with black/white top trim Hand graduated top with Size 2 scalloped bracing pattern Tortoise celluloid body binding and pick guard Traditional abalone dot position markers Old style 3 on a plate restoration tuners Ebony fingerboard and bridge Ebony nut and bone saddle

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
