An amazing Nylon guitar made by Kirk Sand is 1995. The Mahogany back and sides and Spruce top combine with the nylon strings to produce a tone that is complex yet full and vibrant, both unplugged and amplified. This guitar was custom ordered by George Simmons in 1995 and bears his name at the 19th fret. The abalone purfling on this instrument is amazing! Kirk says of these guitars: “I really had Chet in mind for this guitar. He was using the Gibson CE at the time, but was interested in something with less sustain in the bass and a lighter weight body. I Discovered by hollowing the body completely out, and putting a standard braced classic top on it was the answer. As soon as Chet played it, he ordered one.” And with that, we must mention that this guitar was signed on the front by none other than Chet Atkins himself, along with master fingerstylist Paul Yandell. Truly a world class instrument with unmatched tone and playability.

Here we have the Jose Feliciano model by Kirk Sand. The cutaway and narrower neck with a radiused fingerboard make this a versatile crossover guitar for any style of Nylon guitar. As you can imagine in a guitar who’s namesake is Jose Feliciano, you can drive this guitar hard. The spruce top stays with you offering plenty of headroom. The neck feel is fast and easy to play and there are 16 frets clear on the treble side. The dual source B-Band pickup sounds terrific and makes this a great stage guitar.
