Default 630mm Scale / 50mm Nut / Cutaway

I cannot find this nylon string design from large guitar companies. Do you know of a brand or model that offers this set up.
Nylon string 630mm scale with 50mm nut and cutaway.

Thanks

It sound like you're looking for a classical type neck, but with a cutaway and a smaller scale length than common.
To check all those boxes off you'll likely need a custom. That's my guess.
Kenny Hill World Guitars comes closest to those specs that I know of for regular production guitars, i.e. you can get a 628mm with a cutaway, but the nut width is 48mm. These are crossovers too, so a radiused fretboard may also be part of that design.
I have a Cervantes crossover II model, with a flat classical neck and cutaway, but it has a 640mm scale. And I had to order that custom.
So, I'll be surprised if you can find a stock guitar with those particular specs you're looking for.
Of course, any good luthier can build to those specs, but I would contact Kenny Hill as a start and ask him. He kind of specializes in smaller scale guitars because he likes them.
Good luck!

No cutaway, however.

You can try Tom Prisloe at Pavan Classical Guitars, he can get various things special ordered. His standard guitars are very nice IMO. Will probably take several months though. Worth a call.

Will second @Waterboy. I have a Pavan TP-30 Cedar, love it. When I ordered I also asked about different scale lengths and nut widths etc... Tom said he could do any variation of what I might prefer. Would check out Pavan for sure!

If you can use a 52mm nut width, LaMancha guitars has a cutaway with a 630mm scale with a solid top for very inexpensive price. These are designed in Germany, and built in China under their supervision. These Guitars sound way better than you would expect for the cost. I know because I own one, and am always surprised when ever I pick it up.

I believe they offer it in both spruce and cedar.

You should give them a look.
