Len's site is a visual treat and a nicely catalogued source of info.  However, 
you need to be wary of where he interjects with opinion or a quirky proposed 
vocabulary: "parlor" vs. "early romantic" guitar, e.g., neither of which were 
terms that anybody would have used at the time the instruments were built.  
Personally, I really dislike the use of "parlor" indescribing original 19th-c. 
guitars.
