Jim ,

According to Wikipedia, "Parlor or parlour guitar usually refers to a type of acoustic guitar smaller than a Size No.0 Concert Guitar by C. F. Martin & Company."

Maggie's, Martin 0-18 Guitar looks really nice. 😀

The old Hofner that I learned my first three chords on had a mother of toilet seat pickguard similar in colour to the one in the photo. The guitar has bit the dust years ago, but I inherited the pickguard and still have it.
This is not the actual guitar, but one exactly like it that I tried out at the Hank To Hendrix guitar shop in Peterborough, Ontario. It was not for sale or I would have bought it for sentimental reasons. I found this photo of myself on their website. I don't recall it being taken.

It appears that there is only one model with that pick guard (hurray!). It's an Entourage grand natural almond. According to them the perloid cream pick guard is "distinguished".

Does that mean it's easy to "distinguish" it from an actual nice looking pick guard??

Doh!
