Black Walnut Electric Nylon
This is an electric nylon guitar built with locally sourced black walnut used for the neck, body, head plate, and top. Fretboard is Gaboon ebony with a 50mm nut width and 60mm string spacing at the bridge. Combined with the standard 650mm scale, this provides a feel that will be instantly familiar to classical players and accommodates classical repertoire perfectly, while the low action and s-style body shape provides a comfortable and easy-playing electric feel.
Body is chambered with small sound ports on the side, facing the player. Unplugged resonance is great and makes for the perfect practice guitar late at night or in situations where full volume is not wanted or necessary.
Equipped with a Fishman Matrix piezo pickup, truss rod, and Grover tuners, this guitar is versatile and will work great for a wide variety of use cases, from the studio to live settings, especially in ensembles or combined with louder instruments.

2016 Benjamin Garcia
Student Model
This guitar features a cedar top and Palo Escrito (Mexican Rosewood) back and sides and a rosewood fingerboard. There are signs of use including some wear marks on the soundboard, but the playability is fantastic and the tone is rich and open, with a surprising amount of volume and sustain for a 'student model.'
This would make an excellent upgrade to a factory-made student guitar for someone looking for a great deal.
