BE STILL MY HEART! The guitar, not the girl, folks. My 1976 Epiphone acoustic was a Christmas gift from my parents and similar to this sound (Sitka Spruce top w Mahogany (real) back & sides). The neck was 1.75 at the nut instead of a thinner neck on this model (nice). After a devastating motorcycle injury, I sold my guitar very sure I'd never play again. Ten years afterward, my wife had our only child who grew up starting guitar lessons at eleven. Her teacher, a young man from Brazil, a Classic guitarist, Julio taught Kayla so much over their seven years. I'd taken up harmonica after recovery and finally, Kayla and I started doing Dylan, Young, and Canned Heat songs together. We just bought a Little Martin for our grown-up mother of two to hang on the kitchen wall. I'm improving and have been looking high and low for a guitar. I've arrived at my destination and can't wait to surprise my little girl in a few months with a harmonica around my neck and this guitar on my lap; she won't believe it!
That Epiphone really is not a parlour is it ? seems too big to me I have one and also a couple of parlours and it does not sound like a parlour either. You play it very well and bring the best out of that guitar.
Looking for a bell-shaped guitar to learn some Gregory Alan Isakov tunes with. Is this a good choice? He has an amazing strum pattern and hammer on/off technique so would this be okay for strumming too? Thanks!
Interesting how some seem so close minded and afraid to like a guitar and play whatever you like on it. Rather than confine yourself to a preconceived style connection.
I bought one of these pre-pro electronics. I just liked it's smaller size than my dreadnought. It sounds fantastic and is a beautiful guitar!

went to the store thinking i'd get a yamaha and just loved this guitar
Good price point by Epiphone on what looks like a very good option. Would be this or the Alvarez Artist series
No wonder i prefeer the sound of using the microphone, but i liked so much that it could be used for recording and also live performance
nice review and nice playing, meg. thanks!
Love your playing, Meg. I have a parlour sized acoustic (Simon & Patrick) - love the tones. This Epiphone is sweet.
Looks like an awesome guitar. Great playing, too!

It’s a OO size, not a parlor.
Nice alternative to the £2K Gibson Studio, apart from that horrid big chrome 'E' on the pickguard. I hope its removable! Lovely playing, Meg.
the "E" just fell off as i took it out of the box, so i guess its removeable xD
The "E" actually is removable
I think it looks cool though lol
Bautifull guitar! But, what is the difference with Epiphone EL-00 Pro?
Great video. Well done.

I think parlor guitars were used more for Blues not Bluegrass.
That's OK. Use them for what you like.
@@madamkirk You can use any guitar for any genre, your mind is the limit…
@@MasteringSilence 💯💯
Does this come with a acoustic pickup?
It’s built in.
I believe parlor guitars are used for blues instead of bluegrass.
Cool instrument and excellent playing... is this an open tuning?
Looks like open D or DADGAD to me.
@@rubbadubdub6543 Thanks 🙂 I guess the people the PMT peeps are much too important to answer such frivolous questions 🙄
