Harley Benton has once again disrupted the budget guitar market with the launch of the Custom Line Nashville Nylon BK, a strikingly affordable single-cut thinline nylon-string guitar. Priced at a mere £251/$270, this instrument offers a taste of the hybrid nylon-string style that skyrocketed in popularity around 2022, notably with Polyphia’s groundbreaking track, “Playing God.”
Custom Line Nashville Nylon BK
This new model follows the footsteps of its sibling, the Nashville Nylon Plus Black, released in November 2024, but presents a more streamlined aesthetic.
While the Plus Black boasted intricate “Flower & Vine” inlays, the BK opts for classic pearl dot inlays. It maintains a sleek look with cream binding, decorative f-holes, and fingerboard binding.
Thinline
The Nashville Nylon BK aims to entice players curious about exploring the unique tonal qualities of nylon strings in diverse musical genres, from Latin jazz and fusion to the progressive metal sound popularized by artists like Tim Henson.
Its thinline design, featuring a mahogany back and sides with a solid spruce top, not only enhances comfort for electric guitarists but also effectively minimizes feedback during high-volume performances.
25.5” scale length
Classical and flamenco players will find the guitar accommodating, thanks to its 48mm nut width and 15.7” fingerboard radius, providing ample space for intricate fingerwork across 21 frets.
The 25.5” scale length, reminiscent of Fender guitars, ensures a familiar feel for many players.
Piezo
The guitar’s construction includes a mahogany neck, walnut bridge, and slotted headstock with deluxe gold tuners and white buttons. Like its predecessor, the Nashville Nylon BK features onboard piezo-based electronics with top-mounted controls for volume, bass, and treble adjustments, mirroring the intuitive layout of electric guitars.
“This guitar opens up a world of sonic possibilities at an incredibly accessible price point,” a Thomann representative stated. “We’re seeing a growing interest in nylon-string guitars beyond traditional genres, and the Nashville Nylon BK is perfectly positioned to meet that demand.”
