Default FS 2007 Petros Nylon Englemann/Bolivian PRICE DROP 6k WITH FINALLY ADDED PHOTOS!! :)

Up for sale is an '07 nylon crossover from Bruce Petros with Pau Ferro (Bolivian Rosewood) back and sides and an Engelmann Spruce top. Love the tone of nylon strings, but prefer the playability and creature comforts of a steel string guitar? This Petros Crossover is perfect. Radiused fretboard, slim nut, Venetian Cutaway—Amboyna burl appointments to boot, and an Alaskan Yellow Cedar neck.

Crossover guitars have become very popular in recent years for players who wants the ease of nylon strings and a smooth voice that lends itself to everything from Jazz and Brazilian music to the Classical repertoire. Bruce Petros builds a fine instrument, world-class in every way. It has a cutaway, slender neck, and radiused fingerboard, and Classical players will feel how easy it can be to play in instrument like this and steel string players will feel right at home. The best of all worlds.

I purchased this instrument from Dream Guitars within the past 12 months, and it is a ton of fun to play, much more easy than any of the other classical guitars I've had in the past, primarily to the nut width, radiused fretboard, and cutaway. There's no way I would be selling under different financial circumstances.

Paid $7500, PRICE DROP $6k. Has been kept in the case in a smoke free home since purchase, and there has been no discernible injury in the time that I have owned it. All AGF rules apply, 72h approval period, UPS or Fedex I'll cover shipping if you use PayPal Friends/Family.

Thanks man! It is a great one, but as you will see I am in major liquidation mode and might put up every guitar I have except the old OM. Unprecedented times indeed!

Beautiful guitar.

Dream's specs for the string spacing at the saddle in inches/mm do not match.
Is it 54mm (2.125") or 60mm (2.36") ?

Looks to be the wider of the two in the pictures and videos, but they can be deceiving.

I'll measure them today and clarify; thanks for picking that up.
