2002 Steve Grimes Nylon Cutaway, Brazilian Rosewood/Spruce
Hawaii-based luthier Steve Grimes knows how to make nylon string sing. This 2002 Cutaway model is a lovely number dressed up with Brazilian Rosewood and Spruce, Koa bindings, and a tasty Abalone palm tree inlaid at the 12th fret—plus the aforementioned cutaway for better access to those dusty top frets. Blue purflings set off the amber colors of the top and Koa bindings, and add a bright spice to the overall aesthetic. Combined with an elliptical rosette of Koa, and this Grimes Nylon String Cutaway stands apart from the crowd in all the right ways.
"Nylon string crossover guitars are a wonderful thing. For the classical player it gives you an instrument that's easier and more accessible to play, and for a steel string player it gives you the wonderful inspiration and sound of nylon We use the D’Addario XT coated phosphour bronze, light gauge on fingerstyle guitars and mediums and dreadnoughts.." - Paul Heumiller
