For Sale: SOLD Fylde Custom Classic — $SOLD + shipping

[samuelgray16]

Up for sale is a Fylde Custom Classic built for me in 2021. It comes packed in a Hiscox Liteflite case. The guitar is in near-mint condition. (This used to say pristine, but when I was measuring the action for a prospective buyer, I noticed two small finish dings [photographed below].) I've gigged with it a few times, but I have otherwise only played it around the house. It's a fantastic instrument, built as a nylon crossover (a bridge into classical guitars for steel-string players). It is very comfortable to play. There is an LR Baggs Anthem SL for steel string guitars installed by the folks at Fylde. Yes, you read that right! Roger has found that the steel string Anthem works far better than the nylon in these guitars.

High E action = 0.09 inches
Low E action = 0.11 inches
Fingerboard radius = 20 inches

There is plenty of saddle left (see pics below). Also, Roger set the low E saddle height at 3mm (roughly 0.11 inches) and said, "That's a trifle low." There is a higher replacement saddle in the case if needed.

Bearclaw Engelmann Spruce Top
Indian Rosewood b/s and headstock veneer
Honduran mahogany neck — I'd call it a D or flat oval ... very comfortable
Ebony fingerboard and bridge
European maple purfling
Rocklite binding

Scale length = 25 1/2
Nut width = 1 15/16
String spacing = 2 5/16
Overall length = 38 1/8
Body length = 19 1/8
Body at upper bout = 10 3/4
Body at lower bout = 14 5/8
Depth of sides at tailpin = 4 3/16

The guitar has a truss rod.

I'm asking SOLD + shipping.

This is an original song that I wrote and recorded on the Fylde:



Pics from Roger followed by recent pics from me. I'm happy to answer any questions you have!

Whoa! Now thats the best thing I've seen in a long time.... Fylde guitars are magic! Someone is gonna get really lucky with this one. Good luck.

One of the prettiest and prettiest sounding guitars ever. Wish I had room.

Thanks for the kind words! It’s a lot of guitar for the money, which is always better than a lot of money for the guitar

Nice playing, and nice composition too!

Radiused fingerboard or flat? And please describe the neck profile for those to whom it matters!

I expect this will be gone in a jiffy

Cheers

Thanks, Paul. If I weren't me, I would have bought this already

The fretboard has a 20" radius, and the neck profile is a nice D/flat oval. The post above has also been updated.

Somebody buy this before I change my mind!

Still here, maybe not for long…

This guitar is a rarity for sure at a very good price!
Here are a few videos of Will McNichol playing the same model:

I’m not Will McNicol and I haven’t Fylde my nails in a few days, but here’s a quick rendition of “Lamplight” on the guitar in question.

And… SOLD!
