7 String Nylon Kremona

**Rustic** · 02-25-2026, 01:20 PM

On offer is this wonderful 7 string classical with pickup, blend, and EQ. I purchased it when I was taking lessons with Gabriel Santiago and he recommended it as an excellent and affordable option for exploring Brazilian styles and beyond. It has been languishing in the case so it is time to put it into appreciative hands.

Handcrafted in Europe, it has solid Rosewood back and sides and a solid western cedar top with a Fishman dual source pickup. It is in excellent, never gigged, condition and was set up by Chris Forshage.

$1100 + shipping

Very cool guitar. There was a time in my life when I would have been on this in a milisecond.

And it comes with a muffler? Haven't seen that before.

Stop it!!! I don’t need any more guitars!

(I’m thinking about it…)

Guitarists often say that.... right before they buy another one.

Damn! You mean I have a “tell”?

It's an incurable disease.

Funny that I saw one of these for the first time last night. Was watching a you-tube of a guy playing an accoustic loud enough to be heard with a big electric band, clearly to suppress feedback. Thought it was a great idea. And…. this guitar a a very tempting invite to explore 7 string for the first time!

A very nice guitar for a great price, a new one would be in no better condition and not set up. Check out Gabriel Santiago's review on YouTube:

Another steal! If it was a 6 string it’d be gone!

**Jimmy Mack** · 03-19-2026, 05:54 PM

I have a Kremona, a six string straight classical. Very nice guitars.

**D'Aquisto Fan** · 03-29-2026, 09:35 PM

Very cool. If only I could play 7 string!

I'd like to find a reasonably priced 8-string nylon.

the most affordable is Thomann fusion with 65cm scale and spruce top and Ortega wth 69cm scale and cedar top and it has also a version with installed pickup

Ortega looks nicer and is two times more expensive but I am not sure it is better, and I tried Ortega 7 string and was not impressed at all

in Europe the easiest way is to buy from Thomann with good return policy one can give it a try

Whew. I've got my 7 string classical. Now I am $1200 richer for having it.
That's a beautiful guitar.
Heh heh, so pretty that it's still tempting.
Good luck with the sale.

Gotta say the seventh string on a classical is DEEP and lets me voice chords with less shifting and greater across the fingerboard facility. For those who might be tempted, a 7 string classic changes the game. SO expressive. So versatile.

It's in Austin, Texas. Rustic and I are friends.

Thanks. The Thomann is non cut and I believe no pickup. The Ortega is really a goofy beast for a nylon ridiculously long scale, *plus* 14 frets off the body. But I am interested in either of these.

Sorry, dod not to mean to derail the FS listing, can delete if you want.

Bump.

**Jonah** · 04-14-2026, 04:23 PM

I began to check and it seems there are two models of these guitar: this one and the other - the cheaper one ( laminated back and sides and other woods on fretboard), and the price is not much cheaper. And models are labelled almost identically so I did not realize at first there were too

interesting that both are promoted as guitars for Russian open 7 strings tuning and officially advertised by a Russian American Gypsy player

is there a difference in construction?
traditional Russian guitar is different indeed but this one looks like regular modern 7 string crossvover
