The Sunset Nylectric was engineered to bridge the gap between electric and classical players by merging classical guitar features with a low-profile, more traditional electric instrument body style. The 25.6” scale Sunset Nylectric captures elegance in engineering and classical playability while maintaining superlative build quality.

Features

Electro-Classical Guitar

For electric guitar players who are looking to a great classical nylon-string sound on stage at a reasonable price, the new Sunset NY provides flexibility and rock-solid performance without the hassles of amplifying a traditional acoustic nylon-string guitar.

Fishman® VTB Preamp

Developed specifically for the unique vibrational characteristics of nylon strings, the Fishman® Sonicore VTB EQ system conveys the natural sound of nylon with transparency and exceptional string-to-string balance. The Sonicore’s powerful yet organic-sounding pre-amplification is perfectly suited for both recording and any type of live performance application.

Slotted Headstock & Classical Style Machineheads

Features the traditional slotted headstock and machine heads for an authentic classical guitar look and functionality in a nylon-string electric.

Neck-Body Joint Beveled Heel

Unlike the square-cut heel of traditional bolt-on guitars, the heel on the Sunset Nylectric is beveled round and thin for easier and smoother access to the frets in the high register of the fingerboard.

Satin Finish Neck

A clean look as well as no drag on your fingers due to the smooth satin finish means more comfort, increased speed and enhanced playability.

45㎜(1 3/4”) Nut Width

Compared to the standard classical guitar’s 52㎜(2.0”) nut width, the Nylectric’s slightly narrower 45㎜ width makes it ideal for both traditional classical playing as well as standard acoustic steel-string or electric guitar playing, combining the best of all worlds in a single versatile guitar for a variety of playing styles.

Savarez® Cristal Corum Strings

This set of Savarez® Cristal Corum 500CJ high-tension nylon guitar strings includes Corum polished-silver-wound basses with Cristal trebles. If you prefer a higher tension playing feel, then this 500CJ set is perfect for you.
