Electric Nylon String on a Tele platform.

That is pretty. And strange, of course. Hollow or plank?
What kind of electronics are there in it?

I'd be curious to hear what kind of sounds it can produce.

I am big fan of nylon string guitars, and would like to know about the electronics too. If you don't mind sharing with another Luthier.

We used a Barbera pickup with a Bartolini pre amp.

Thanks for that . I bet it sounds great. As for a pickguard, unless you play a nylon string guitar the way Willie Nelson does, who needs a pickguard? Fingernails sound great.

agree...probably sans guard on this one...thanks again, dale.

I suppose pickguards are also a matter of esthetics. Like: "If it is shaped like a strat or tele, it looks wrong without a 'guard". I just think that it would be a pity to hide a nice piece of wood, unless you really have to.
