This is My first Nylon , it was a Steep learning Curve, Although I did have some Guidance from my mate Justin Montifiore. It was made for the same guy who I made the black and white Tele (guitar , not TV set)
for , his brief was," I hate the feel of all the Nylon's I have tried, I hate the Look of all the Nylon's I have seen, I want it too feel like a Steel string in terms of the neck , I want it to look different from a Normal Nylon , I want to it to have a Pickup that reproduces the sound of the guitar , not the strings , and I want it to be Cutaway" . So This is what I have come up with, I used a plan as a rough guide , It has Falcate Bracing , but instead of a Transverse brace , It has a plywood ring around the soundhole that blend's up into the sides and becomes part of the neck block , It then has a Transverse brace that is 10mm down off the soundboard that supports the soundhole ring, and is attached by small blocks to the sides at the waist , with flying braces coming off that junction back to tailblock , Think Smallman meets Gore. the linings around the top are Laminated , the Neck is Bolt On , Bob Connor Style . The back and Sides are Monteray Cypress and the Top is Sitka , the Neck is QLD maple with a Rosewood lamination , the Binding's and Headplate are also EIR , the Pickup Is the K&K Ultra Pure active . It took ages to Complete and has caused it's headaches , But I'm well chuffed with the final result , as for the Sound I have nothing to compare it with , So i'll take it for a visit to Jeff and let him give his Critique, but for my money it sounds pretty good .Cheers
What a beauty, I love the colour/wood combinations & the lines are so clean you could cut your fingers on it. Excellent work Paul, if your customer isn't happy with it smack him over the head with the Tele & send this gem to me!
