My God, it’s beautiful! I’ll raise a Coville mug of cheer to you and your good fortune! How are the bridge saddles working out for you? It’s exceedingly rare to see saddles like that on a nylon string, however, they’ve got to make correct intonation a breeze!

SMU;

Very very nice. Nice taste, nice guitar. Of particular interest to me since I have been thinking about a nylon 7.

Do you have other nylon string instrument by which to make comparisons regarding tone and projection? If so I would appreciate your assessments.

Does your 7 have a long scale? It's hard to tell from a picture, but your guitar does not look like it has the short scale.

Congratulations on the new X7 nylon! Looks amazing.
How wide did you go on the nut width?

Enjoy your new guitar in good health!
Best,
Tom

Wow! That is gorgeous! That veneer looks like it is radiating up from the lower bout. No doubt, it sounds as good as it looks - congrats on this special NGD!

Oh myyyy! It is absolutely stunning! What veneer is that?

If it plays half as good as it looks, this has to be amazing. Many congrats and enjoy

The scale length is 24”, and the nut-width is 48.5 mm. I chose the Red Pau Ferro and red fiber back and sides. I was not sure when I ordered it if I’d regret the decision, but they really go well together.

Evan, I do not have any any other nylon stringed guitars to compare it with. I have not owned a nylon guitar since the 1970s. However, it is well-balanced. It does not project much as my wood ukuleles.

As a fellow owner of an X7 nylon my congrats!

That is beautiful and I particularly like the inlay work.
