Electric Nylon builds?

[pirate]

Anyone build anything like this before? Or even something similar? Is it even possible with a Warmoth tele body and neck and custom routing?

Sure. Gibson and Epiphone did the nylon string Chet Atkins thing decades ago. There have been other makers like Godin, etc. Yamaha offers a steel and a nylon string in their Silent Guitar series that is very nice.

I can't find it now. But there was a thread here from probably 2009ish? that was a Warmoth electric nylon. It was one of my fav all time builds on the forum. Hopefully someone can provide the link.

After some brain jogging, I'm sure it was Aizenx's. His was the first nylon on the forum. Post has no pics now, and soundclip is gone. But I remember listening to it again and again.

Agreed, Sadowsky is where I saw it first, after watching a Stones video with one in it.

I was quite taken with this commercial one, obv. a Warmoth build would be the way to go
