Members Folky_Grunge Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 I can't say I've played all of those, but I have played the Seagull and the Tanglewood. Both are very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman_Keller Posted February 11, 2013 Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 I've played none of them so I can't be any help, however I remember reading a review of the Blueridge in AG mag and they cautioned that it has a pretty narrow fretboard and string spacing at the saddle - said it was fairly difficult to play finger style on. The compound radius on the Larry would bother me however some people seem to really like it. I'll also say that in my opinion a double ought is not a true parlor - some would argue that a single ought/Concert is as big as you can be and call it a parlor. Here is my daugters single ought (24.5 scale) with an OM and a 000 - it is based on the 0-45 that Joan Baez played " rel="nofollow">http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f387/Freeman_Keller/IMG_1418.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
