Ibanez PN2WS Parlor Acoustic Guitar – Open Pore Brown
A compact parlor body with warm, focused White Siris tone and a relaxed short scale — the grab-it-anywhere guitar that always ends up in your hands.
Is This the Right Guitar for You?
Parlor guitars are the oldest small-body design in the acoustic world, and there's a reason they never went away: they're intimate, comfortable, and full of character. The PN2WS carries that tradition at a genuinely accessible price. Its compact Parlor 2 body sits close and light, the short 620mm (24.4") scale relaxes string tension for easy fretting and friendly bends, and the neck meets the body at the 12th fret in classic parlor fashion — which puts your fretting hand in a naturally comfortable position. White Siris top, back, and sides give it a warm, mid-focused voice that suits fingerstyle, blues, and quiet songwriting beautifully. It's the guitar for the couch, the porch, the road trip, and the songwriter's desk — small enough to keep close, good enough to keep playing.
Key Highlights
- Compact Parlor 2 body is light, comfortable, and easy to take anywhere
- Short 620mm (24.4") scale eases tension for softer fretting and easier bends
- White Siris top, back, and sides deliver a warm, focused, mid-rich voice
- Traditional 12th-fret neck joint for that classic parlor feel and hand position
- Smooth nandu wood fretboard with a comfortable 10" radius for chords and slides
- Ibanez Advantage bridge pins make string changes quick and secure
Why You'll Love It
Features
A Parlor 2 body in White Siris, a meranti PN neck joining at the 12th fret, an 18-fret nandu wood fingerboard at a 620mm scale, chrome die-cast tuners, and a nandu wood bridge with Advantage pins.
Advantages
The small body and short scale remove physical effort from playing, while the focused parlor voice records cleanly and sits in a room at conversation-friendly volume.
Benefits
You play more because it's always within reach and never a workout — and your fingerpicking, blues licks, and late-night song ideas all sound right at home on it.
Great Fit For
- Fingerstyle players and blues pickers who love a focused, vocal midrange
- Songwriters who want a couch guitar that's always an arm's length away
- Travelers and campers who need a compact acoustic that still sounds grown-up
- Smaller players and younger hands that appreciate the short, easy scale
- Dreadnought owners adding a second, smaller voice to the collection
Sound and Feel
Parlors don't try to be loud — they try to be present, and the PN2WS is exactly that. The small body emphasizes midrange, giving single notes a woody, vocal quality that makes fingerpicked patterns and slide-friendly blues lines sound instantly vintage. White Siris keeps the response smooth and rounded, never harsh. In the hands, everything about it says relax: the short scale softens string tension, the 10" fretboard radius curves comfortably under barre chords, and the trim body means no reaching, no hugging, no fatigue. It's also a sneaky-good recording guitar — that focused voice sits in a mix without the boomy low end that makes bigger guitars tricky to mic.

A Note From Us
Ask anyone who owns a parlor and they'll tell you the same thing: it becomes the most-played guitar in the house, purely because it's the easiest one to pick up. There's something about that small body and woody voice that pulls old blues and new song ideas out of you. If you've never sat with one, you owe yourself five minutes with this guitar — and if you have questions before then, we're a text or call away at 814-371-5666. Fair warning: parlor people are made, not born, and it usually only takes one chord.
