Guitalele? Parlor Guitar? Terz Guitar?
What really is the difference between a baritone guitalele or a small parlor guitar? Really nothing. 6 strings, small body, baritone class scale length. A terz guitar is the same instrument tuned up a third. Martin Guitar made a "size 5" up through 1989. The body is my standard baritone ukulele body. This instrument is almost identical in dimensions to those Martin size 5's guitars, which Martin called a 3/4 guitar or a terz guitar in the later years.
Cocobolo back and sides, Port Orford cedar top, Spanish cedar neck, white curly koa binding, black & white diagonal purfling, asymmetric rosette in green heart abalone pearl, Richlite fingerboard and bridge, curly koa headplate.
