We just took in a pair of Petros guitars that complement each other to a T: matching woods, but one comes in steel and the other in nylon. This here is the nylon crossover twin with Pau Ferro (Bolivian Rosewood) back and sides and an Engelmann Spruce top. Love the tone of nylon strings, but prefer the playability and creature comforts of a steel string guitar? This Petros Crossover is perfect. Radiused fretboard, slim nut, Venetian Cutaway—Amboyna burl appointments to boot, and an Alaskan Yellow Cedar neck.
