Acousticado, while I slowly responded, you posted the link to Evan's X10N. Thanks, for taking the time to find that. What a gorgeous guitar. The headstock is really beautiful.
One of the things that concerns me is in Evan's reviews. He talks about adapting to different nut widths, necks, etc. Right now, I find fingerstyle on my Eastman E20P to be more comfortable than on my L13. Much less string buzzing against my nails & room between strings. But I'm a noob at fingerstyle, so those issues may go away with experience. The one thing that won't change is both shoulders are sensitive to body size and scale length. Both give me pain on larger guitars. Quote:
Maybe I should keep my eyes open for a pre-owned Rainsong P12N. If I could pick one up at a good price, it would keep my risk of trying one low.

Pine;
Before you make a major purchase you might want to first take Sirwhale's suggestion for strings. They are very articulate and, as noted, are an interesting mix of nylon and steel qualities. I purchased my Parlor on the used market and saved a bundle. When I was looking I ran across several on a variety of sources with the guitar; Reverb, Ebay, and MacNichol. |

Evan, I'm hoping to find a nylon guitar in addition to my L13. I would like to have both voices at my disposal. Once I acquire a nylon guitar, I'll most likely go back to my normal Heritage strings on the L13. I want CF, as I need to be able to leave a couple of guitars unattended for months in a closed-up home in the Arizona summer heat. 110-120F outdoor temp. Hotter inside. It's no place for a wooden guitar!

Living in southern Nevada, I relate to the heat issue. I weather through the summer and have lost my share of dehydrated wooden instruments. Carbon Fiber has made my life better. Enjoy your hunt for a nylon string guitar. |

I see you like the low tension vibe Let us know how the strings go.

I do prefer low-tension strings. Like many here on the AGF, I have arthritic hands. Low tension strings let me play as long as I like, without too much pain. Another upside will be bends, when I get to those on my journey.
