Due to the rental car getting accidently bashed in the rear I only had a very few minutes to look at the Parlor guitar; seems clearly much better that my BT; not clear how much better than the similarly priced & body sized Seagul "Grand" (NOS), which has a 25" scale, 14 fret neck & is overall several inches longer (if bulk is a consideration)& can be had w/a passable HS case... We're in San Antonio now & will fly out of Houston later & try to get another longer look the Parlor before we leave... I'd also say the workmanship on the Parlor is better than the Grand...

Cheers, BK
