(Used) 2010s Huss & Dalton Model O Engelmann/Mahogany Parlor Acoustic Guitar #3783

The Huss & Dalton Model O is a beautifully crafted parlor-sized guitar that showcases the boutique craftsmanship the Virginia shop has become known for. In Very Good Condition, with patches of light scratches on the bass side and on the back. Has a small ding on the treble side of the top near the bridge as well as heavy scratches on the treble side. Has strap button that was filled and redrilled (not by TAS). Built with a solid Engelmann spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this instrument delivers a refined balance of warmth, clarity, and responsiveness. The natural gloss finish highlights the understated elegance of the traditional design, while details like the herringbone rosette and Waverly tuners reflect the attention to detail that defines Huss & Dalton’s work.

Tonally, the Engelmann spruce top offers a quick, sensitive response that rewards a light touch, making this Model O particularly expressive for fingerstyle playing. Paired with mahogany back and sides, the guitar produces a warm, woody voice with focused mids and excellent note separation. The parlor body shape keeps the sound articulate and intimate, perfect for players who appreciate a guitar that feels responsive and alive in their hands.

The mahogany neck paired with an ebony fingerboard provides a smooth and comfortable playing experience, while the Waverly 4065 nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons offer reliable tuning stability and a vintage-inspired look. For players searching for a handcrafted boutique parlor with exceptional responsiveness and timeless style, this Huss & Dalton Model O offers a compelling combination of tone, craftsmanship, and playability.
