Fireside Parlor Red Cedar-Figured Ovangkol
$6,290
Created exclusively for the 2025 January NAMM Show, the Fireside Parlor Red Cedar-Figured Ovangkol is a stunning limited-run masterpiece—one of only 12 handcrafted worldwide. This deep-body parlor is designed for collectors and musicians who seek warmth, depth, and refined tonal nuance in a beautifully balanced and expressive instrument.
Premium Salvaged Tonewoods – A Story in Every Note
At its core, this guitar features a Salvaged Western Red Cedar top, revered for its responsiveness and rich overtones. Cedar’s naturally aged fibers create a warm, articulate tone—perfect for fingerstyle and light-touch players seeking deep resonance with effortless projection. The back and sides are crafted from Figured Ovangkol, an exotic wood known for its dynamic midrange and shimmering highs, providing tonal complexity comparable to rosewood but with a uniquely modern character.
The Honduran Mahogany neck, combined with a compound tapered dovetail neck joint, enhances tonal transfer and ensures unmatched resonance and stability. The Ebony fingerboard and bridge add a sleek feel, allowing for smooth and precise playability.
Sophisticated Craftsmanship & Fireside Aesthetics
The Fireside Parlor is a visual work of art, finished in a natural high-gloss with a semi-gloss barrel and gloss burst heel/headstock, creating a striking depth to its color and grain. The Mother of Pearl logo is framed by figured maple purfling and Fireside detailing, which continues around the body and is complemented with an understated rosette.
Compact, Yet Powerful – The Deep Body Parlor Advantage
Designed with a deep-body parlor shape, this guitar offers exceptional projection and depth, far beyond what one expects from its size. The 25.0” scale length and 1.75” nut width provide both comfort and precision, ideal for nuanced fingerpicking or delicate chord voicings. Every guitar is hand voiced, and uses Adirondack Spruce bracing to enhance responsiveness, projection and clarity.
For tuning stability and elegant detail, the guitar is equipped with Waverly #4075-G gold tuners with ebony buttons, and a bone nut and saddle enhance its pure, uncolored sound.
A Collector’s Piece, Protected for Generations
As part of an ultra-limited run, this guitar is not just an instrument—it’s an investment in craftsmanship and rarity. Delivered in a Bedell Custom Ameritage case, it is strung with D’Addario XS PB Light strings (.012″-.053″), ensuring pristine tone and longevity from the first note.
For those who appreciate sustainability, artisanal detail, and sonic excellence, the Fireside Parlor Red Cedar-Figured Ovangkol is an heirloom-worthy guitar, ready to become the crown jewel of any collection.
