Carbon Fiber "Classical"?

[arktrav]

Are there any carbon fiber guitars which are close to classical guitar dimensions? (2" neck, slot head, concert body size)

I have a couple of classical guitars and would like a carbon guitar the same size and dimension.

Thanks,

The first one that comes to my mind is:
http://leviora-guitars.de/en/guitars/c1-series/

I think MacNichol is the source for them in USA.

Leviora is it for CF Classical.

Heres a shot of the headstock.

Did Alastair build it with a Classical size neck?
I'm sure he can.

This was a custom order, I'm pretty sure Alistair will build anything you want.

I used the x20os as a starting point. I left the 20" radius fretboard.

the changes were
1 7/8 nut
12 frets to the body
bridge lower moved to acommodate 12 fret
slotted headstock

Alistair also came up with a new top for his nylon builds.

here's a shot (not a great one) of the inside. The underside of the top has the lattice work on it.

My hope with this guitar was to allow the trebles to shine, which is where I think carbon fiber has the potential to have an advantage over wood guitars with nylon strings.
While I've found the higher register is quite clear and loud, the lower end is simply astounding. The bass that comes out of this guitar is just incredible.

CFW... Cost?

Time for construction and delivery?

.

[CFW]

It was a little over $2k.

I was originally given a 3 month build time, but Alistair wanted to make changes to his existing design. I told him to take his time, and was ok with not having a firm delivery date.

Overall I think I waited a year from order to delivery.

Blackbird Nylon Rider seems to meet what you're asking for. I have one but I'm not sure it meets all your criteria.

I know I'm reviving an old thread but that Emerald guitar is absolutely stunning! I love that headstock design. Awesome. Do you have any audio/video clips of this beauty?

This was a really sweet guitar. We had a great guitarist come in and recorded a couple of songs on it but it as yet hasn't been edited. Maybe this is the little push I need to get it done.
