BAR6E

The BAR6E, a classic parlor guitar, is expertly crafted from premium materials to provide ultimate comfort and playability. Featuring a solid A-grade red cedar top, ideal for smaller-bodied guitars, it delivers a lively, expressive tone that is perfect for fingerstyle, blues, and folk music. Paired with solid A-grade Amara ebony back and sides, the guitar offers rich overtones and stunning visual elegance.

​A standout feature of the BAR6E is its patented ToneFlow Bracing System. This advanced design broadens the tonal spectrum, delivering richer, more nuanced sound characteristics for an exceptional auditory experience.

Named the “Comfy Nut,” this dense bone nut is indented from both edges of the fingerboard, providing extra room for the fretting hand to move more freely and comfortably.

The fine-grained Amara ebony headstock, adorned with a mother-of-pearl Mt. Bromo inlay, adds a distinctive touch. Intricate abalone ornaments are found throughout the guitar, further enhancing its beauty.

Equipped with the Fishman Sonitone pickup system, renowned for its dynamic and natural sound reproduction, the BAR6E is not only a visual masterpiece but also a joy to play, offering outstanding performance and lasting durability for musicians of all levels.

Features

 Peg Head

The slotted headstock not only helps reduce weight and prevent neck dive but also features a classic aesthetic that perfectly complements the guitar’s overall design.

Veneered with fine-grained Amara ebony and featuring a magnificent mother-of-pearl inlay of the Mt. Bromo logo, this inspired design adds a stunning visual element while capturing the essence of Mt. Bromo, further enhancing the guitar’s unique identity and aesthetic appeal.

Machine Head

Deluxe, vintage-style machine heads with an antique brass finish complement the parlor design perfectly. They are purposefully weight-reduced to ensure the guitar remains well-balanced. Crafted with high precision, these tuners offer exceptional tuning accuracy, stability, and reliability.

Neck

Featuring a 5-piece layered construction of mahogany and ebony, this neck is designed for exceptional stability. The alternating layers provide superb resistance to warping and bending, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance.

Neck Profile

The neck is shaped in a comfortable low-profile and finished with a fine satin coating. With its streamlined shape, this design allows for smooth, fast playing and a comfortable grip, ideal for both rapid and extended playing sessions

Fingerboard, Fret Markers & Side Dots

The fingerboard is crafted from A-grade Amara ebony, renowned for its rich tonal quality, high strength, and durability, ensuring a smooth playing experience and lasting performance.

​The position markers are a combination of Abalone dot inlays encircled by brass rings mimicking eagle eyes on the front and Mother-of-Pearl dots on the side. This design adds subtle aesthetic appeal to the fingerboard while enhancing playability by clearly indicating fret positions.

Bridge

Named the “Mt. Bromo Bridge,” this feature is constructed from A-grade Amara ebony, known for its superior strength and durability. This robust design ensures long-lasting performance and contributes to the overall tonal quality of the guitar.

​Complementing the “Mt. Bromo” bridge are the “Eagle Eye” bridge pins made from ebony, each adorned with an abalone dot and encircled by brass rings. These decorative and functional elements enhance the aesthetic appeal while providing secure string anchoring for consistent tonality and sustain.

Body Shape

BAR6E with parlor body shape is distinguished by its smaller size and narrower waist, which contributes to a unique tonal quality. This design enhances the midrange frequencies and produces a warm, articulate sound, ideal for fingerpicking and intricate fretwork. The compact dimensions allow for comfortable playing, particularly for those with smaller frames or for extended sessions.

Bracing System

Equipped with the patented ToneFlow Bracing System, this guitar amplifies vibrations across the entire body. This advanced design enhances the tone spectrum, delivering richer, more nuanced sound characteristics for a superior auditory experience.

Back & Sides

Constructed with solid A-grade Amara ebony, this guitar not only produces rich overtones but also exudes stunning aesthetic elegance. The high-quality ebony enhances the overall sound quality, adding depth and richness to each note played.

Sound Hole Rosette

The guitar features a “Cowboy Rope” rosette, intricately inlaid with abalone to form a cowboy rope pattern around the soundhole. This decorative element adds a unique, visually striking detail to the guitar’s aesthetic.​

​Complementing the rosette, the soundhole is reinforced with an Amara ebony inlay ring. This not only enhances the durability of the soundhole but also contributes to the overall structural integrity and tonal consistency of the guitar.

“Comfy” Bone Nut & Bone Saddle

Genuine bone nut and bone saddle add brightness to the guitar’s sonic characteristics. Its high density also enhances sustain, improving the overall sonic performance of the guitar. Natural bone is self-lubricating which helps to lengthen the longevity of the strings.

​A conventional nut with a through-slot design inherently bears unevenness between the nut and the neck on both sides, as the neck contracts or expands with changes in humidity. This often causes discomfort for the fretting hand when it slides along this area. Bromo’s innovative Comfy Nut design, which is indented on both sides of the fingerboard, eliminates this unevenness and discomfort. It also provides extra room for the fretting hand to move, resulting in an extremely smooth and sleek feel that offers superior comfort.

Electronics

This guitar is equipped with a Fishman Sonitone pickup system, mounted within the soundhole. Renowned for its dynamic and natural sound reproduction, this system captures the true essence of the guitar’s acoustic tone. It provides clear, rich amplification ideal for both live performances and studio recordings.
