We have developed a new variation of the Acustivibe: The Classic with nylon strings.
The Classic Acustivibe has the same basic construction as the original steel-string Acustivibe, but with some key modifications to get the desired tone and feature results.
The neck has a shape and dimensions more appreciated by the classic player, with also an appropriate string spacing at bridge.
The neck meets the body at the 12° fret.
To better meet the desired tone, we opted for a spruce top, more suitable for this model than the poplar used on the steel-string version.
The internal body construction was also slightly modified as well as the damping elements.
The circuit is a simple passive volume and tone. With some experiments I got the perfect sound range for the tone, to go from a more biting flamenco sound to a very warm and round classic tone.
The string tuning is much faster and they will keep perfectly the tuning without the typical nylon strings annoying detuning.
