 Ken Navarro Nylon string guitar? I am a guitarist who plays mostly acoustic jazz. I am very inspired by the latest works from Ken Navarro ("The Grace of Summer Light" and his new CD "Dreaming of Trains"). But I can't figure out what nylon string acoustic guitar(s) he is recording with. They sound fantastic on his recordings and I really want to know what make and model they are and how he records them. Can anyone help? Thanks and here's a link to a video from Navarro's latest CD "Dreaming of Trains" in case that helps.

| The following is from the Q&A section of Ken Navarro's web page: What guitars do you use and is there a guitar you use the most? I primarily play a custom Rick Turner nylon string acoustic/electic guitar in concert. I also play a couple of F hole jazz guitars - an old Gibson 175 and a Heritage 550. I love these acoustic/electric fat body guitars for their warmth and natural sound. I also use two (2) Takamine acoustic classical guitars in the studio, a Guild F50 steel string, and two solid body electrics, a Fender strat and a Kramer strat. The Fender has the original pickups which are some of the sweetest strat pickups I've ever heard and the Kramer (giddyup! - no relation to Seinfeld) has active pickups which give it a hotter rock and roll quality. I quess I would say that I currently play the Rick Turner nylon string guitar the most followed by the Heritage 550 but I really do play all of the guitars pretty equally with the exception of the Guild steel string guitar. Each one has a very different voice and a unique application for my music. I had seen this not too long ago. Hope it helps.

| Thank you millman! I checked out Ken's web site and found a lot of information about not only the guitars he uses but also how he records them - really invaluable information, especially about recording acoustic guitars. He gets a fantastic sound and now I have some new ideas to try when I record myself. Anyway, thanks for pointing me there... also, he published a free podcast about how he created and record his new CD "Dreaming of Trains" Here's the link... Welcome to Ken Navarro Online |
