It sounds like you are a classical player who doesn't particularly like steel strings. Nothing wrong with that. I owned a custom Taylor NS62 (cocobolo back and sides) for many years, but never really bonded with the playability or tone. Always seemed over built and over braced. Also, the 1 7/8" nut was, in my opinion, too narrow for nylon strings, as I was always bending the E string off the fingerboard. I sold it about a year and a half ago to partially finance my OM18 Authentic. Recently I purchased a Cervantes Signature Rodriguez (interestingly also in cocobolo and spruce) which, despite the 52 mm nut is much easier to play than the Taylor ever was.
