Hagstrom Seafarer Parlor E

Parlor-sized bodies have been used by acoustic guitar builders for centuries. A compact, easy-to-hold size and focused, intimate voicings have made parlor guitars attractive tools for vocal accompaniment and small ensembles through the ages. Blues and folk musicians embraced them in the early 20th century, and the body shape has become one of the standard offerings among fine guitar producers.

The Hagstrom Seafarer sits squarely in this tradition. Its smaller body and more pronounced waist exhibit classic parlor dimensions. We have chosen mahogany for the back and sides and solid Sitka spruce for the top, which together create a warm and full-bodied voice with especially rich mid-range sonorities. A fingerboard and bridge made of our unique Resinator™ material, with the density, hardness, and sophisticated texture of ebony, contribute a level of tonal articulation usually found only in much more expensive instruments. Fishman’s ISYS pickup and preamp round out the package with authentic and expressive amplification support.
