The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Nylon strings delivering warm, mellow tone perfect for fingerstyle and classical playing. Wider neck spacing giving each finger room to articulate cleanly. Gentle string tension making playing comfortable for extended practice sessions. A tonal character that's completely unique in the guitar world.
Invest in quality nylon strings (D'Addario Pro-Arte are our go-to recommendation) and give them 2-3 days to settle after changing. The tone gets richer each day as the strings stretch and stabilize.
A nylon-string guitar offers warmth and expressiveness that no other instrument can replicate. Every note has a rounded, singing quality that responds to your subtlest touch. Whether playing classical, bossa nova, or contemporary fingerstyle, this guitar turns technique into art.

Saddle fit & bridge
The saddle captures string vibration transferring it through the bridge and on to the top. The relationship of these three components; saddle, bridge, and top, is extremely important on a guitar. Using their advanced skills, our craftsmen fit the saddle into a groove in the bridge with a high level of surface to surface contact. The bridge is also precisely positioned and glued into on the top with a high level of accuracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VH5dQcoX5g| General Specifications | |
