Looks pretty nice, and only £118!
The only thing that concerns me is the neck joins the body at 12th fret. I'm gonna have to give one of these a try!

Reminds me of my buddy's vintage Stella acoustic. It's a short scale with no upper fret access. The body is also slightly smaller than a full size acoustic.

+1 with my buddy in place of yours. I see those Stellas a lot, you can get 'em for like $40 all day long. They're absolutely terrible though.

Do want! I've been eyeing them ever since they came out.

As I scrolled down I was hoping to see this. So bored of sunburst.

The thing about parlours is that they always look good but sometimes sound a bit boxy but I will definitely try and play one.

I love that small acoustics are becoming a new trend, from the Little Martins and Baby Taylors to these parlor geets. My only reservation is that the 12th fret neck joint on the parlor guitars seems a bit stuffy. Is there a particular reason why they meet there?

12th fret body joins used to be the norm before the 14th became more standard. Playing past the 12th fret on an acoustic was rarely essential (many would argue that's still true today).
