Parlor 50th Anniversary Soloist 10863

The Parlor 50th Anniversary Soloist 10863 shipped to Down Home Guitars on June 19th, 2025.

It started with a request from guitarist Eric Schoenberg, who had been dreaming of an OM with a soft, minimalist cutaway. Dana built prototypes, later partnered with Eric to found Schoenberg Guitars, then worked closely with C.F. Martin to co-produce the Schoenberg Soloist, the first cutaway guitar to come out of Martin’s fabled Nazareth workshop. Perhaps more importantly, the original Soloist helped re-launch the long-forgotten OM, now the world’s second most popular steel-string guitar.

Coming in with a body length of 18”, the “Piccolo” Parlor is our smallest body offering. With an experience driven, detail oriented voicing process, the “Piccolo” Parlor is a short scale guitar with an exquisitely full and balanced voice that you would expect to find in larger offerings. A smaller air cavity provides unique characteristics to the tone that will provide new inspiration to your next arrangement. See for yourself, it’s bigger than it looks.
