Description

The Model-T Nylon Hand-Cafted Nylon-String Electric Acoustic by Nittono Guitars

The Nittono Guitars Model-T Nylon is a handcrafted nylon-string electric acoustic guitar built by master luthier Toru Nittono in Van Nuys, California, blending classical guitar playability with electric guitar versatility. Made in limited numbers with meticulous attention to detail, it features an arched carved spruce top and solid mahogany back, offering a warm yet articulate tone suitable for jazz, blues, and fusion styles. Its neck is made from mahogany with a smooth ebony fingerboard, providing a responsive feel and elegant aesthetics that many players find inspiring. Designed for professional musicians and collectors alike, it includes a RMC pickup system for amplified performance without sacrificing the nuances of nylon strings. This model has been played on tour by notable artists, such as Carlos Santana and Robben Ford, giving it a reputation for expressive tone and stage readiness. The Model-T Nylon’s craftsmanship and limited production make it highly sought after on the vintage and used market. It combines classical guitar sensibilities with a more modern, playable shape that works well for both fingerstyle and electrified performances. Its elegant build quality and tone have earned it respect among discerning players and collectors.
