Hawaii-based luthier Steve Grimes knows how to make nylon string sing. This 2002 Cutaway model is a lovely number dressed up with Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce, Koa bindings, and a tasty Abalone palm tree inlaid at the 12th fret—plus the aforementioned cutaway for better access to those dusty top frets. Blue purflings set off the amber colors of the top and Koa bindings, and add a bright spice to the overall aesthetic. Combined with an elliptical rosette of Koa, and this Grimes Nylon String Cutaway stands apart from the crowd in all the right ways.

Nylon string crossover guitars are a wonderful thing. For the classical player it gives you an instrument that's easier and more accessible to play, and for a steel string player it gives you the wonderful inspiration and sound of nylon strings. 
I love the easy playing neck, the cutaway, and the lightweight build of this ’02 Nylon String Cutaway from Steve Grimes. The fretboard is unradiused in traditional Classical fashion, but Steve adds some modern creature comforts with the cutaway and position markers to keep this one playing effortlessly. | Scale Length | 25.6 in |
