Members hangwire Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 this the last guitar I want to buy, but probably not in sunburst. A F-hole, nylon string [but still closer to standard neck width than a tradition classical] acoustic electric... but I think they were last made in 1995(?) anyone seen one of them in any local shops? are there any non-fender models that meet these feature that you can enlighten me to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cldplytkmn Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 acoustic electric... but I think they were last made in 1995(?) anyone seen one of them in any local shops? are there any non-fender models that meet these feature that you can enlighten me to Godin makes a few choices that would fill your needs, most likely. They kinda made themselves a little niche in the hybrid classical, solid body, or semi hollow A/Es. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members moctzal Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 Godin makes excellent guitars have a look at them.The Multiac series is what you want to take a look at I think.They use L.R. Baggs electronics. I have one (Acousticaster) and it's great. http://www.godinguitars.com/godinwhatsnewp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted February 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 the Multiac jazz one was interesting, but it doesn't strike me as the above guitar does... do they do customizations? that acousticaster would be nice if the addes a F hole, nylon stringed, and had a neck pickup...

Members Cldplytkmn Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 i don't really understand the point of a neck (magnetic) pickup on a nylon string... your trebles won't even register. i think the multiac jazz is a steel string, anyway.

Members Stackabones Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 This is what you're looking for-- Yamaha AEX 500N, f-holes, slim neck like an electric, thinline body. I got mine used on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 I own one of those Fenders...made in Japan and mine has steel strings. Also mine is in natural finish...really nice guitar and I love it. Able to blend the Lace sensor with the piezos in the bridge. Solid top. mahogany back and slightly wider than a tele so it doesn`t fit in a tele hard case. If I remember...it`s called the TLAC-100...sold for 100,ooo yen. Looks like this...not my pic...

Looks like this...not my pic... that is it, but I think someone might have put steel strings on that one, they were designed for nylon [i don't think they advertized a steel string version unless I am mis-informned...] if anyone sees that, please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cldplytkmn Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 if anyone sees that, please let me know i have no experience with the guitars, but i do think that you may be misinformed, based on the guitar having a neck pickup.

Members Stackabones Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Able to blend the Lace sensor with the piezos in the bridge. I don't know much about Lace sensors--probably like all other magnetic pups, right? But the piezo will work on the nylon trebles. One of those knobs must be the blender for the Lace and the piezo.

Members zenbu Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 I`ve seen a few over the years on the Japanese web and never saw one with nylons. Not saying it`s not POSSIBLE to use nylons, it may very well be, and I may try it just for fun but I like the way it plays with steels and thats what was on it when it arrived. The on line shop I got it from sent me a photocopy from the catalog and it sure looked like steels, but the pic isn`t all that great, may be a copy of a copy. I did mention mine has a blend pot.

Members hangwire Posted February 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 I am wondering now because I know that there was a pickup in teh enck version and one without a pickup in teh neck. I just assumed the neck pickup was microphonic ... but maybe they made a teel string version and a nylon sans neck pickp version what is the main difference between a guitar being built for nylons and steels? I coudl just slap nylon strings on a dreadnought acoustic and be fine, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure if the nylon trebles would fit in a steel-string nut. Steel-strings on a classical will probably snap the bridge off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nunzio Posted March 12, 2008 Members Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have a black nylon string telecaster.It has a maple neck(thin)and only a pieso pickup in the bridge.It is a great guitar,If you are not used to playing wider nylon string guitars.this is a fender telecaster that was constructed as a nylon string instrument by fender(japan),not a steel string converted to nylon strings. How many of these fender made I'm not sure!It is a simmilar set up to my chet atkins solid body electric nylon string. the difference is the tele. has an f-hole with a small chamber.
