About the Instrument

The Model KN is named after Rochester player extraordinaire Kinloch Nelson and employs the perfect format of a classical guitar with the modern needs of the fingerstylist.  It has a 12 fret neck that places the bridge in the optimal center location on the soundboard, and a cutaway that allow easy access to the upper frets.  The instrument is well balanced and rests lightly in your hand.  The tone is full and it speaks quickly.  This guitar, #555 features dark Brazilian rosewood with a Port Orford Cedar soundboard.  Port Orford has remarkable sustain, and a clearer tone than red cedars.  The neck is a beautiful piece of curly koa, and the fingerboard is Brazilian rosewood fit with EVO Gold frets and engraved Deco pearl inlays.  The tuners are ebony button 18:1 Shertlers from Switzerland.  The Brazilian pinless bridge has carved tails and a bone saddle.  It comes with a Hiscox hard case.  This is a GREAT sounding guitar!!!
