Parkwood Guitars

I keep seeing these at GC, and I finally sat down and played one. I have a dreadnought and I've always wanted an OM style guitar. I played the PW320 and I gotta say, I enjoyed it. The 320 has solid sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. I usually prefer rosewood back and sides, but this one had a sweet sound. A very cool delta blues type sound and when I broke out the slide I was even more impressed. Sadly, I had to walk out without it until we get this house buying thing done. Anyway, any one else played or have one?

I have a 320 that I picked up about 4 or 5 months ago. I went to GC to play an Epiphone Masterbilt but I wasn't thrilled with it. I picked up the Parkwood since it was an OM with all solid wood and was amazed at the sound of it. It projects like a bigger guitar. I couldn't put it down so I decided to come home with it. I actually spent a few hours out on the porch last night passing it back and forth with a friend. I couldn't be happier with it. My Dad has the maple back jumbo model which is very nice also.

Eric, that looks great! The neck is actually slightly wider than my Blueridge BR-70, and thats what I've been looking for in an acoustic lately.
