I own a C Fox DX dread -and it is an outstanding guitar -not as bassy as a Martin but has a very beautiful tone -very top end build , top end materials- more like my '71 Guild D-55 - a bit on the heavey side - but i believe the weight is intended to give it the sound it has .Their a very unusual guitar - and im very happy with it -but Im not sure what a Nylon string model would sound like .i believe charles fox made around 800 guitars total in his small company and went out of business in either '01 0r '02-he is quite possibly one of the worlds most respected luthiers ( I'm not kidding ) many of todays builders have learned from Charles their craft -it would be very interesting to find out more-please keep in touch if you acquire one- C Fox guitars are not common because of the low build number - Tony
