Baton Rouge X11LS/P-SCR Акустична гітара

Parlor Acoustic Guitar With Vintage Soul and Modern Reliability

The Baton Rouge X11LS/P-SCR is a parlor acoustic guitar that pairs a 1920s-inspired silhouette with a build engineered for everyday playing. Part of the brand's 20s Reloaded series, it combines a traditional slotted headstock and small-bodied parlor shape with modern construction choices that keep the tone dependable. A spruce top and mahogany back and sides produce the focused, woody character that fingerpickers and blues players tend to love, while the open-pore satin finish lets the top breathe and resonate freely. This parlor hits a sweet spot between vintage looks and modern playability for anyone who wants a compact acoustic that doesn't try to be a dreadnought.

What Sets This Parlor Apart

Two details give this model its distinctive identity. The slotted headstock with open antique chrome machine heads is a hallmark of pre-war parlor guitars and produces a vintage profile that solid-headstock acoustics cannot replicate. The Screwed Crimson open-pore satin finish — a unique Baton Rouge treatment — lets the wood grain show through while keeping the body light. Together with the 630 mm scale and 46 mm nut width, these touches make the guitar feel like a small, characterful instrument.

Body Construction — Small-Body Voice With Layered Reliability

The parlor body shape is the heart of this guitar's character. Smaller than a folk or dreadnought, the parlor 12 design produces a focused midrange with less low-end boom — ideal for fingerstyle, blues runs and recording sessions where a tighter sound is welcome. Its layered construction adds durability for travel and changing climates.

• Top: Spruce — bright, articulate response with clear note definition
• Back & Sides: Mahogany — warm, woody character that complements the spruce top
• Finish: Open Pore Satin (Screwed Crimson) — lets the top resonate freely while showing the wood grain

Neck and Playability — Comfortable for Beginners and Travellers

The mahogany neck and ovangkol fingerboard give this model a smooth, familiar feel under the hand. The 46 mm nut width offers enough room for fingerstyle without feeling wide, and the 630 mm scale keeps string tension moderate — easier on the fingers than a longer-scale dreadnought.

• Neck: Mahogany — stable, comfortable feel with a warm tonal character
• Fingerboard & Bridge: Ovangkol — dense, durable tonewood with a smooth playing surface
• Scale Length: 630 mm — moderate string tension, easier on beginners

Hardware and Strings — Ready to Play Out of the Box

Hardware choices on this model are deliberately understated. Open antique chrome machine heads pair with the slotted headstock for a vintage look, while Nubone nut and saddle components keep string-to-body energy transfer efficient. D'Addario EXP11 coated strings ship from the factory, so the guitar sounds consistent from the first session.

• Headstock: Slotted — vintage profile with open antique chrome machine heads
• Nut & Saddle: Nubone — consistent tone and reliable tuning stability
• Strings: D'Addario EXP11 — coated for longer tone life and reduced finger squeak

Who the Baton Rouge X11LS/P-SCR Is Built For

The Baton Rouge X11LS/P-SCR is the right choice for beginners, fingerstyle players and travelling musicians who want a compact, characterful acoustic with vintage looks. Its smaller parlor body suits players who find dreadnoughts too boomy or who want a guitar that records well without overwhelming a microphone. Blues and folk players will appreciate the focused, woody tone, while beginners benefit from the moderate 630 mm scale and 46 mm nut width that make chord shapes easier to form. Right-handed players get the standard orientation, and the lack of a cutaway keeps the design clean and traditional.
