@Hoopermazing No I have not tried Silk&Steels. I was indeed looking for warmer tone, but I want more weight out of it too - not very common tone for guitar in general. It worked with Ovation Legend + Godin 13s.

On the case of high tension nylon - I used Savarez strings for a while on a classical guitar - best things I ever tried for classical/flamenco sound. Very sharp, clean, full - excellent for fast playing too. Sustain gains some.

@vzuani Thanks, but I'm a wide neck guy... even with electric guitars. FYI, Cordoba makes a fusion nylon string guitar with a slightly skinnier neck that a classical guitar. And Crafter makes a nylon Taylor T5 rip-off that is nothing less than incredible. (My main problem with classical guitars is that I have to have a cut-a-way and 14 frets clear of the body.) Again, thanks.

@Hoopermazing You can find some different brands of guitars(not many, Ovation has this style) that has a lot thinner neck than a traditional Flamenco or Classical guitar, is like a fusion from steel string and nylon and is funny are located right in the middle of the Nylon and steel strings, I have seen them at Guitar Center.

Did you ever try Silk and Steels on it. I'm assuming, quite possibly in error, that you want a warmer tone that typically brash flat-top acoustic strings.

Speaking of thin necks, in the time since I last replied to you, the UPS dude delivered my new wide-neck semi-hollowbody guitar... Flatwounds or Half-rounds... decisions decisions.

Have you tried the super high tension nylon strings? I like them on my Ibanez aeg10ne. They are not so mushy, and they have a tighter vibration amplitude (?).

[MaloSify]

Nope, friend did similar thing on his guitar. The sound is there, just not as loud as it would be with steel. The tone is the bigger problem. Also with narrow necks you get another issue - the nylon strings vibrate quite widely when you start playing with power. Then they crush into each other ... so volume is limited in this way too.

[Hoopermazing]

It must be...

[Hoopermazing]

I must be a high quality solid-top guitar with a thin finish... I'm surprised that nylon strings can move the top enough to generate sound. Then again, I've never attempted such a thing. So, this is all wild conjecture.

@Hoopermazing

Indeed it is...you can also tell from weaker bass tones and insufficient clarity on treble strings.

[Hoopermazing]

Wow, that neck looks freaky thin for a nylon-string guitar. Did you put nylon strings on a steel-string guitar? (I only ask because of the neck... and the nice white binding is unusual too.)
