Project Description
The Petite Nylon
Adapted from my parlor steel string model for composer and sound engineer Silvano Mercado, the goal with this build was to combine the caracteristics of a nylon guitar in an easy-to-carry instrument. Its shape makes it very comfortable to handle as well as giving it its distinctive look.
This guitar has a very dynamic sound, warm and round extending into the medium tonalities.
Model available in 0 or 00 sizes.
As every guitar in my line-up this guitar is made to order and customizable with your personal specifications and choice of wood. Several amplification options are also available.
