Cherry Nylon String Guitar 2010

Perfect for jazz or classical... A big generous sound, rivaling a steel string in both volume and projection This cherry and red spruce nylon string guitar was the object of an article in the Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Great Acoustics page, december 2010. "This guitar (...) made its debut at the Montreal Guitar Show. Attendees were thrilled to play the nylon-string with its powerful bass, cutting treble, and superb projection and note separation, which make it perfect for jazz or classical." Adam Perlmutter, Acoustic Guitar Magazine SEE ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE This multiscale nylon string guitar with a cut-away is perfect for fingerstyle jazz and is equally at ease handling technically challenging passages in the classical repertoire. |
The red spruce soundboard and cherry back and sides combined with the multi-scale system produces a guitar with exceptional note separation and clarity. The fingerboard & bridge are made from Eastern hop hornbeam, the rosette & headstock veneer are cherry burl. (For more details, see Ndakinna 2010 Technical Info at the bottom of this page.)
