The 2024 Rye Bear Super Parlour is a striking expression of one builder’s relentless pursuit of responsiveness, balance, and beauty. Though offered here as a used instrument, it remains in excellent condition and has been carefully stored in a studio environment, preserving both its appearance and voice. At just 5 lb 10 oz, it feels alive in the hands before a single note is played.
Rye Bear has earned a reputation as one of the most inventive modern luthiers working today. His guitars blend traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking engineering, resulting in instruments that are deeply musical yet unmistakably contemporary. Every detail of the Super Parlour reflects that philosophy. From the lightly built body to the carefully tuned resonance structure, this is a guitar designed not only to sound exceptional, but to respond effortlessly to the player.
An Engelmann spruce top gives the guitar an open, airy voice with remarkable sensitivity and warmth. It responds to the lightest touch, producing a rich bloom that suits fingerstyle playing beautifully while still retaining enough headroom for a more assertive attack. Paired with flamed Satinbox back and sides, the tone takes on an added complexity and shimmer. Satinbox offers the immediacy and clarity of a dense exotic hardwood, while the dramatic flame in the grain gives the instrument an unmistakable visual presence.
Inside, Rye Bear’s Paulownia carbon falcate bracing system allows the top to move with extraordinary freedom. Combined with the laminated side construction, the result is a guitar with remarkable projection, sustain, and tonal separation. Its carefully tuned resonance profile, with an air resonance of 101hz, a top resonance of 169hz, and a fully coupled back resonance of 227hz, gives the instrument a balanced, articulate voice with a lively low end, expressive mids, and shimmering trebles.
The 12 fret neck joint and 25.4 inch scale length lend the Super Parlour a distinctive character. Notes seem to leap from the body with an effortless sweetness and fullness that only a great 12 fret design can provide. The Honduran mahogany neck is carved into a comfortable C profile that fills the hand naturally without feeling bulky. Combined with the 1.81 inch nut width and 2 1/4 inch bridge spacing, it offers generous room for intricate fingerstyle work while remaining comfortable for chordal playing.
The appointment package is equally refined. A Macassar ebony fingerboard, bindings, heel cap, end graft, and headstock veneer create a cohesive, elegant aesthetic throughout. The black, maple, and black rosette is framed by a Macassar ebony bound soundhole, while maple pinstripe purfling on the headstock and a leopardwood backstrap provide subtle but memorable touches of contrast. A padauk bridge adds another layer of warmth and color to the visual palette.
Playability is exceptional thanks to EVO Gold frets with hemispherical fret ends, giving the neck a smooth, effortless feel up and down the fingerboard. Gotoh 510 tuning machines provide precise, stable tuning and complement the instrument’s refined appearance perfectly.
Altogether, this Rye Bear Super Parlour is a rare and compelling instrument from one of today’s most imaginative luthiers. Beautifully voiced, visually stunning, and preserved in excellent studio-kept condition, it is a guitar that offers inspiration the moment it is picked up.
