Overview
A guitarist coming from electric gets a nylon string Ibanez with a narrow nut and thin body that feel close to their own instrument. A Fishman pickup and preamp with a tuner handle stage sound, and a side port projects toward the player.
Playability is the case for crossover players: the slim nut and flat radius make chords and leads feel like an electric. Classical traditionalists may miss the wide neck and round sound hole of a standard nylon guitar.
Who it's for
Players moving between electric and nylon string guitar who want comfort and a reliable pickup on stage. Students of classical repertoire should look at a traditional classical neck.
Pros and cons
- Narrow nut eases chord shapes
- Pickup with onboard EQ and tuner
- No sound hole reduces feedback
- Side port for player monitoring
- Narrow nut unfamiliar to classical players
- Preamp needs a battery
- Weight listed inconsistently
Performance notes
Plugged in sound comes from the Fishman under-saddle pickup through the preamp EQ, while the closed top reduces feedback at volume. Acoustically the fan bracing and spruce top shape the tone, and the side port aims part of it at the player.
