My favorite has been the Epiphone EN546c. Maybe not in the class of that pretty handmade but it is a WOW guitar for the dough. They made this one out of solid straight Indian Rosewood, Solid Cedar top, Paduk bindings.
The guitar was not available long. I am guessing it got cut by the Accounting Dept. It sold for what some luthiers charge for wood upgrades. Mine is for sale in the AGF classifieds. Not for any dislike. I just got outta hand for a while and I a have 20 or so acoustics to get rid of so I have room to build guitars |

Cordoba GK Studio. Not handmade, but sensational, for less than $ 700.

After owning and auditioning many, my favorite is the one in my signature. Just got it last week. By the way, we have a new NYLON section on this forum. The only other guitar I would have chosen over it is a Sergie DeJonge. But they cost about 4X's as much.

I used to have a Kirk Sand cedar/Brazilian rosewood guitar that was quite nice but I sold it to buy a Taylor NS72ce-LTD made of the same kinds of wood.

If you are asking about Cervantes, Dream Guitars, Gryphon, Music Emporium, & 12th Fret. 12th Fret also sells Sergei De Jonge.

What did you like about the Taylor over the Kirk Sand? I have heard nothing but great things about Kirk Sands crossovers.

About a year or so ago, I was conversing with Alejandro Cervantes about getting a custom made crossover done. In my talks with him, he indicated that he could build whatever I wanted (as long as I wanted to pay for it) and that I could buy directly from him without going through a dealer. Maybe that has changed, but it's worth checking out. I never did get the crossover built, but it is still kicking around in my mind. Maybe someday.

Is my memory incorrect, or has 12th Fret increased the price of the Cervantes Crossover 1?

If you're in the market for a truly worldclass crossover, I highly recommend taking a close look at Matt Mustapick's Concert Nylon model:
http://mustapickguitars.com/cn/7/index.php Matt has the creative gift in both realms, steel and nylon string guitars. He's a great guy to work with and his instruments are top shelf. Fred Last edited by Dogsnax; 04-01-2010 at 12:55 PM. |

+1 I'm curious what made you choose the Taylor over the Sand?

Maybe they have. I can't say for certain. But what I can tell you is that the Cervantes Crossover 1 PE (Palo Escrito) is the least expensive, followed by the Indian Rosewood, then the Cocobolo. They are not all priced the same. It is based on the cost of the wood and perhaps the amount of labor time to work with each wood.

Toni, the guitar I'm referring to is the Crossover 1 P.E. Seems to me that it was a bit cheaper last time I looked, maybe two weeks ago.

It is a long story but since you asked I'll quote from a previous post of mine: Quote:
I'm have been on good terms with Kirk Sand and would like to reiterate that others have experienced good service from him. I haven't run in to anyone that had the unfortunate experience that I did. |
