The Sunset Nylectric DLX: For a Great Classical Nylon-string Sound on Stage
We are excited to introduce the Sunset Nylectric DLX, a sophisticated addition to the acclaimed Nylectric series. This innovative instrument masterfully blends the warm, distinctive resonance of a nylon-string acoustic guitar with the versatility and playability of an electric, making it a valuable tool for musicians of all genres – truly the best of both worlds!
The Sunset Nylectric DLX boasts a meticulously crafted solid spruce top with flamed maple veneer on a chambered mahogany body, providing a rich tonal foundation. The flamed maple veneer in Tobacco Sunburst finish, along with wood binding, and gold hardware add to the guitar’s visual appeal. Its ebony fretboard and bridge, paired with a tapered and slotted headstock, ensure durability and easy playability. The guitar’s unique shape draws inspiration from both traditional acoustic aesthetics and modern electric styling, resulting in a distinctively appealing appearance, as well as comfort and balance. A newly applied thinner body depth of 48mm (1 7/8”), combined with a gently beveled neck-body joint heel and 48mm (1 67/64”) nut width and string spacing, provides further comfort in any playing situation. The Graph Tech® TUSQ nut and saddle are used to enhance harmonics, volume, and sustain.
Loaded with an advanced Fishman® S-Core VTB Preamp and built-in EQ system, the Sunset Nylectric allows for seamless amplification without sacrificing authentic nylon-string acoustic timbre. Additionally, the guitar comes factory set up with Savarez® Cristal Corum 500CJ high tension nylon strings. Widely considered the best nylon string brand in the world, Savarez® strings provide high tension, making this guitar a breeze to play.
