The whole playing position
Body width, depth, neck reach and weight distribution are considered together. A short scale is one possible choice, not the definition of every small-body guitar.
Steel / Instrument family
Grand Parlor
A custom small-body steel-string direction, with Sanah's instrument as a reference.
The playing brief
What makes this direction different?
For a player who wants a compact body and a close playing position. Grand Parlor No. 757 documents a thin-body, 600 mm-scale commission rather than a reduced copy of a larger production model.
The documented instrument
Sanah's Opus Magnum No. 757 uses a 600 mm scale and 43 mm nut. Its exact materials and specification are available below.
A new commission
The artist instrument is a starting point for discussing proportions and feel. Its name, artwork or exact material set are not offered as automatic features of another guitar.

Before you choose
A few useful answers.
Is Grand Parlor the same as Travel?
No. Grand Parlor concerns the small-body playing experience. Travel begins with transport, packed size and practical handling requirements.
Can I keep a longer scale?
That can be discussed. The neck-body relationship, tension and intended tuning need to be considered together rather than changing one measurement in isolation.
