PRATLEY Classic Series Mini OM Acoustic Electric Guitar
Compact Body. Full-Scale Feel.
Many players love the idea of a smaller acoustic guitar.
They're comfortable, portable and easy to take anywhere. The challenge is that many compact guitars achieve their size by shortening the scale length, creating a playing experience that can feel noticeably different from a standard acoustic.
The Pratley Classic Mini takes a different approach.
While the body is compact and comfortable, the guitar retains a full 25.5-inch scale length, giving players the familiar feel, string tension and response of a full-sized acoustic guitar.
For guitarists who regularly move between instruments, it's a subtle difference that makes a huge impact.
Why The 25.5" Scale Length Matters
One of the standout features of the Pratley Classic Mini is something many players won't notice at first glance.
Unlike many compact acoustic guitars, the Classic Mini retains a full 25.5" scale length.
This means:
Familiar string tension
Natural fret spacing
Excellent tuning stability
Better performance in alternate tunings
An easy transition between your main guitar and the Classic Mini
Many popular compact guitars use a shorter scale length, which can feel softer under the fingers and require an adjustment period when switching between instruments.
The Pratley Classic Mini feels much closer to a full-sized acoustic while retaining all the comfort and portability of a smaller-bodied guitar.
For many players, it's one of the biggest advantages of the design.
All-Solid Tasmanian Blackwood
The Pratley Classic Mini is built from solid Tasmanian Blackwood throughout.
Australian Blackwood has become one of Australia's most sought-after tonewoods thanks to its ability to combine warmth, clarity and projection in a single instrument.
The result is a rich, balanced voice with a strong midrange, sparkling highs and impressive depth for a guitar of this size.
Whether you're fingerpicking, strumming or writing songs on the couch, the Classic Mini responds with character and musicality far beyond what most players expect from a compact acoustic.
Bigger Sound Than You Expect
Many small-bodied guitars can sound boxy or compressed.
The Pratley Classic Mini was designed specifically to avoid that.
Pratley's carefully voiced bracing system helps maximise resonance, sustain and projection, creating a guitar that sounds significantly larger than its dimensions suggest.
The first thing many players notice isn't the size of the guitar.
It's the size of the sound.
Handmade In Australia
Every Pratley guitar is handcrafted in Australia using carefully selected tonewoods and premium components.
A Queensland Maple neck, Johnstone River Teak fingerboard and bridge, premium hardware and a satin nitrocellulose finish combine to create an instrument that feels lively, responsive and inspiring from the first chord.
The satin nitro finish allows the timber to resonate freely while developing character over time.
Ready For Stage And Studio
The Pratley Classic Mini comes fitted with the respected LR Baggs Stagepro Element pickup system.
Natural, dynamic and reliable, it faithfully captures the guitar's acoustic character whether you're performing live, recording direct or plugging into an acoustic amplifier.
Why We Love It
The Pratley Classic Mini fills a gap that many players don't realise exists.
It's compact enough to travel with, comfortable enough to play for hours and built to the standards of a serious professional instrument.
Most importantly, it doesn't feel like a compromise.
With its full 25.5" scale length, all-solid Tasmanian Blackwood construction, premium electronics and boutique Australian craftsmanship, the Classic Mini delivers the comfort of a small guitar without giving up the feel and response of a full-sized acoustic.
