ESP LTD TL-6N Thinline Nylon String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Well constructed. Neck profile and nut width add to playability.

Really good for the money. The pick up is a little weak!

I bought this guitar 4 months ago, and I really liked it more than I expected... it has excellent sound and good bass and treble control... it's just a great guitar compared to the price!... ;)

I am writing this review after just one day of playing this instrument. I purchased the nylon string version with a spruce top. There are not a lot of reviews out there so felt I should share my experiences with those who might want to consider this guitar because I searched hard to find some reviews that were worthwhile but in the end decided to just go ahead and make the leap and order it to see how it came in. I bought this because I play mostly jazz and generally use archtops in my performances. But lately I have been incorporating a broader range of music (bossa, lots of latin etc) and the nylon string sound is quite special and more appropriate. For recording purposes I use a very high end Ramirez guitar that I just can't bring myself to take out to gigs around town - whether indoors or, more often than not in the nice weather, outdoors! So, I searched for an instrument that would serve me well in those environments and that I would not have a heart attack over if something happened to it! Seriously!! I worry about a $3000 guitar outdoors vs one that cost (just) $500. Ok - so I've run this guitar thru its paces and I have to say one of the most outstanding features is the fretboard. Its fast and unbelievably playable right out of the box. ESP has really done this justice. Its as good as any I have played - perhaps better! Rosewood is great. Frets are smooth and the reach! WOW - you can really get up there and that is a huge plus for me. In addition, the mahogany all around is quite impressive. It is very well built and has a unique style. The Fishman on board electronics are great and provide the ability to really tweak your sound. I found the guitar to be a nice weight - surprisingly lighter than I anticipated. I already know I am keeping this guitar and can't wait to take it on the road for my next performance. The sound is great and faithfully reproduces a nylon string instrument even though the basis for construction is somewhat different.

I'm a long-time fingerstyle player who switched to nylon string instruments because of a nickel allergy. I've been looking for a good "hybrid," and decided to take a chance on the LTD TL-6N. First, this is a very attractive instrument, with its two-tone body(natural finish), white neck binding, unique tone hole, and abalone neck inlays. My first thought was that it looks like the child of a Les Paul and a classical guitar. It's wonderfully playable. I welcome the perfect radius of the fingerboard (makes any type of bar chord easier). The nut width is just a bit narrower than a classical, making it a good choice for players coming in from classical or from steel string. My guitar was amazingly playable right out of the box. I'm particularly impressed with the clarity of every note, whether amplified or not. It's rather quiet, but audible when played acoustically. Plugged in, it comes closer to any I've played to actually sounding like a nylon-string acoustic guitar! There are a couple of things to note: First, this thing is a bit over 42" long! You'll need a gig bag for an ES-335 type instrument. The only other downside is that "ESP LTD TL-6N" isn't quite as memorable a name as, say, "Stratocaster," but I can live with that. The bottom line is that I would highly recommend this guitar.
