I love it! Nice job! I wish I could try it. I've always wondered how multi-scale would work on a nylon string guitar as far as intonation goes.

That's simply beautiful. I love the body shape here!

I gotta say, those are excellently shot photographs too.

How loud is it?

Thanks! Intonation is quite good. I need to use my Peterson Strobe Tuner to see such small differences, my Korg tuner tells me its perfect.

It depends on your Amp.... ;)

Its a little less bright than an normal electric guitar but the loudness is more or less the same. I did not chamber the body, its only slightly weight reliefed. I wanted it to be as feedback resistant as possible.

The sound is great. I played it through my stereo and you think you hear an acoustic guitar when you close your eyes...

Nice! I've always like the idea of nylon solid body guitar, but have never seen one that looks that good! I'd love to hear a sound clip of it...

I will be following this in case you post a sound clip. Congratulations on the beautiful build! I am motivated to build one also, but neck-through and possibly chambered...I need to research the possibilities of feedback problems. Thanks for the motivation!
