eBay customized finger style acoustic guitar
I'm unplugging for a moment here to help a friend sell his guitar. This cedar top, concert size Breedlove started out as a nylon string, but now accommodates steel strings too. The bridge was replaced, plus a JLD truss system was installed underneath. The JLD unit is a cantilevered truss apparatus which removes the string tension from the top-- and is standard on Breedlove's steel string models. The tuner post shafts were upgraded to steel as well, and the neck already had a truss rod. In fact, this neck has very little flex compared to some standard steel string flat tops. When you de-tune with steel strings on this guitar, the other strings hold their pitch very well.
The neck width at the nut is 1 7/8", so we're talkin' whole lotta neck, but the action and relief with steel is actually low and comfortable once you get used to the nut width-- and no string buzz. My favorite thing about this guitar is its crazy midrange punch. Concert size cedar top steel string acoustics are known for a pronounced midrange and this one is a killer, especially as it is braced for nylon. The bottom is tight without being boomy or muddy, and the high end isn't airy & glassy. A good finger style responsive guitar that you can dig into hard-- also good for bottleneck slide. We put EXP acoustic light steel strings on it.
If you want to stick with nylon, just be sure to buy a ball end type nylon string set.
