The sustain is exceptional as well, and the entire guitar is full and warm yet wonderfully articulate. A very fine example of a Contreras double-top!

For all it’s art, this is also perhaps the finest sounding Laskin instrument we’ve played.

We have to agree, the Brazilian is very old and has the brick red hues we know indicate great sounding wood. As always Grit’s Sitka stash is out of the ordinary and just astonishly good sounding. Full of color and capable of great emotion. This instrument is completed with two Laskin Bevels, for arm and ribs, and a side soundport.

1995 Sand Nylon Mahogany/Spruce
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.
