AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
CON1978
The David Worthy Parlour is a breathtaking example of Australian luthiery, showcasing the artistry and precision of one of Victoria’s most respected guitar builders. Handcrafted near Dandenong, Victoria, this custom instrument features an Adirondack spruce top paired with tiger myrtle back and sides, delivering a lively, balanced tone with exceptional clarity. The mahogany neck ensures warmth and stability, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge add a sleek, refined aesthetic. Green Abalone purfling and ebony bindings further enhance its visual appeal, not to mention the stunning Green Abalone and Spalted Maple rosette, reflecting the meticulous detail invested in every Worthy build.
Performance is elevated through hand-scalloped and tuned bracing, a carbon fiber-reinforced neck for ultra-lightweight stability, and laminated tail blocks for added strength. Premium Waverly tuners offer precise and reliable tuning, while the guitar’s responsive tonal palette makes it suitable for a variety of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to dynamic strumming. As both a sonic and visual work of art, this David Worthy Parlour is equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in the hands of a discerning collector.
