This custom nylon acoustic guitar was recently completed by the craftsmen in the Custom Shop in Bend, Oregon. The concert body is an ideal body shape platform for a nylon guitar and the cutaway really allows the easy access to the entire fretboard. The maple back and sides contribute to the bright, warm sound of this custom instrument.
About the Concert Body Shape: The Concert is our most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum. Learn more about the body acoustic guitar body shapes.
