14 fret gypsy nylon?

constantine

Hello does a 14 fret nylon gypsy jazz guitar exist? I've seen a number of the 12 fret models but not sure I've ever seen a 14 fret. Thanks, Dean.

I was just in Osaka at the Stringphonic Guitars headquarters and did a promo clip for their soon to be released nylon string ..they didn’t bother to cut off the part where I was just warming up lol 😅

An interesting alternative is the old Martin 000C nylon string:

It is a 12-fret-neck guitar, BUT the scale length is 670mm! I tried one once, and the string tension gave it a good "rebound" feel; the sound was different from the standard 650mm scale guitars.

It may be the only 670mm nylon string guitar out there, other than the occasional flamenco or odd-ball classical.

Very cool!
