Cort Sunset Nylectric DLX

EVERY GUITAR PLAYER should have at least one nylon-string guitar in their collection.

- Chris Gill

Even better is a nylon-string acoustic-electric that can hold its own amongst other amplified instruments on stage. The Cort Sunset Nylectric DLX leans more towards the electric than acoustic side of the spectrum with its chambered solidbody design, but that makes it a great choice for electric players who want to explore the nuances and expressiveness of a nylon-string instrument without having to adapt their playing style too much to a traditional classical or flamenco guitar.

Playability

Featuring a chambered mahogany body with a solid Sitka spruce top covered with a flamed maple veneer, the Cort Sunset Nylectric DLX looks more like a steel-string acoustic-electric or even a solidbody electric (minus the pickups and electric hardware). The bolt-on neck joins the body at the 16th fret (instead of the 12th), and a deep cutaway and contoured neck-body heel joint provide unrestricted access to the entire fretboard. The body width measures slightly more than 1.75 inches, so it even feels like an electric solidbody instrument.
