Doyle Dykes Signature Nylon Cutaway Electric
The Guild Doyle Dykes Signature Nylon-String model is the result of extensive collaboration between Dykes and Master Luthier Meaulnes Laberge. Inspired by instruments designed by Kirk Sand and crafted to exacting specifications, the guitar delivers a warm, round, rich and balanced nylon-string sound that will please the most discerning guitarist. The guitar features a custom LR Baggs acoustic preamp with a special Doyle Dykes Signature Series Soloist acoustic guitar pickup from Barbera Transducer systems.
Available with a Natural or a Sunburst finish.
Doyle Dykes on his Signature Guitar
“This guitar is very much like my Kirk Sand custom guitar but a little smaller and very focused on the upper mids. It is a great guitar for the fingerpicking style that I do and the Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed stuff. I’ll have to say it cuts like a knife on the fast stuff and is as beautiful a sound that can be heard on the slow ballad and worship songs. I really love it!”
