Slaman offers an archtop with nylonstrings but the demo's I've heard were not very exciting... those soft and relatively low-tension nylonstrings don't drive a top like the heavy load of a set of 12's or 14's would.
The progress re nylonstring guitars and their volume/tone/versatility is happening elsewhere.
Has anyone played or had a Supro Amulet ?
