Gibson Parlour Rosewood EC Left-handed Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Rosewood Burst

The left-handed Gibson Parlour Rosewood EC with Baggs HiFi DNA in Rosewood Burst delivers big, inspiring acoustic tone from a compact, ultra-comfortable body. Marrying classic Gibson small-body styling with modern playability and premium electronics, it is a superb choice for left-handed players who want a smaller guitar that still sounds rich, full and effortlessly professional on stage or at home.

Inspired by a scaled-down SJ-200, this parlour-sized electro acoustic feels instantly familiar yet refreshingly manageable, especially if you are coming from electric guitars or find full-size dreadnoughts a bit unwieldy. A solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides provide warmth, clarity and impressive low-end depth, while the cutaway design opens up the upper frets for melodic lines and solos. Plugged in, the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system captures the guitar’s natural voice with outstanding detail and feedback resistance, so your tone stays clear and expressive at any volume.

Compact Parlour Body with SJ-200 Inspired Styling

The Parlour Rosewood EC takes the iconic curves and aesthetic cues of Gibson’s SJ-200 and scales them into a smaller, more intimate body. This compact shape sits comfortably whether you are seated or standing, making long practice sessions and gigs far less tiring. Despite its size, the radiused top and traditional scalloped X-bracing help the guitar project with surprising volume and balance, so you get a focused, articulate sound that still fills the room.

Solid Sitka Spruce and Rosewood for Rich, Balanced Tone

A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides gives this guitar a sophisticated tonal character that rewards both light fingerstyle and more aggressive strumming. Spruce brings clarity, definition and dynamic range, while rosewood adds low-end richness, smooth mids and shimmering overtones. The result is a voice that feels much bigger than the body suggests, with enough depth for solo performance and enough balance to sit beautifully in a mix.

Advanced Response Neck and Player-Friendly Fretboard

The mahogany neck is carved to Gibson’s Advanced Response profile, striking a sweet spot between slim and substantial. It feels fast and familiar for electric players yet reassuringly solid for acoustic work. A satin nitrocellulose finish keeps the neck smooth and non-sticky, while the bound rosewood fretboard with a 16 inch radius and 19 frets offers an easy, modern playing surface. Mother of pearl parallelogram inlays and a matching headstock logo add a touch of classic Gibson elegance every time you look down.

Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics for Natural, Stage-Ready Sound

The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp. This design captures the full-range acoustic character of the guitar, preserving its natural resonance and dynamics when amplified. You get a warm, detailed sound with gain-before-feedback performance comparable to traditional under-saddle pickups, but with a more organic feel. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you fine-tune your sound on the fly without cluttering the guitar’s clean look.

• Comfortable Parlour Body with Cutaway - The compact small-body shape is easy to hold and play, particularly for left-handed electric players or anyone who prefers a more manageable acoustic. The cutaway design gives you confident access to higher frets, ideal for melodic leads and chord voicings higher up the neck.
• Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Rosewood Back and Sides - A classic tonewood pairing that delivers warmth, clarity and impressive low-end depth. The spruce top responds dynamically to your touch, while the rosewood body adds richness and complexity, giving the guitar a full, expressive voice that belies its size.
• Advanced Response Mahogany Neck with Rosewood Fretboard - The Advanced Response profile offers a comfortable, modern feel that suits a wide range of playing styles. Combined with a smooth satin finish, 16 inch radius and bound rosewood fretboard, it makes chords, bends and intricate fingerwork feel natural and effortless.
• Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System - Dual bridge-plate sensors with individually voiced preamps provide a natural, full-range amplified tone that closely mirrors the guitar’s acoustic sound. With simple soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls and excellent feedback resistance, it is ready for confident live performance and recording.
