I found a used (looked unused) rainsong parlor 12 fret for 1300. It is a wonderful guitar, small, and impervious to humidity and other issues. So possibly great for someone going into the next phase of life, moving a lot, etc. obviously the issue is finding one, just depends on your timeframe
Have a rainsong 12 fret parlor. Easy to play, stays in tune, great for the couch or travel. I dont worry about it like i do an old Martin. Feel like sitting by the pool on a hot and humid day w a beer and playing, go for it. Take it back into ac. All good. Row your floatie in the pool? No problem (clearly after many beers). Have not played it yet plugged in but it is sufficiently satisfying as an acoustic.
I have a problem. But after seeing that photo of the specials et al, I now understand that my problem is not big enough. Gotta work on that. I feel so much better.
I just want to say, some nice choices in there.
Not selling, just cheering you on! I support your interest in the early 90s LPC. They are fabulous. They are not hard to find in conus but dont know about the uk.
i was looking for 335s for a while, then revisiting various mij versions, and then moved to search for and did find a 347. Great guitar. Just throwing out another target for you -
Best of luck in your search!
just fyi for anyone looking. No affiliation, etc, etc.
