Description
ESP LTD TL-6N Nylon String Acoustic Electric Guitar in Natural Finish
The TL-6N sits perfectly in the hands with its thin U-shaped neck contour and smooth rosewood fingerboard—a natural platform for fingerstyle work across classical, flamenco, bossa nova, and singer-songwriter material. Nylon strings yield a warm, mellow voice with excellent sustain and clarity that cuts through in any setting, and the acoustic-electric design means you can take it unplugged or run it straight into the PA without sacrificing tone. This instrument rewards the hours you put in through its balanced voicing and organic responsiveness under the fingers.
Construction & Playability
The chambered mahogany body with spruce top is paired with a 3-piece mahogany neck featuring set-neck construction for rock-solid stability and sustain. The thin U neck contour and 25" scale rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets create a platform that feels natural under the fingers, while the 42" overall length and 3.4 kg weight deliver excellent balance for extended sessions and gigging reliability.
Tone & Electronics
A B-Band Electret film transducer paired with the B-Band T-7 Preamp captures your natural acoustic character with clarity and transparency—no coloration, just your tone amplified. The preamp features a 3-band EQ, phase filter, volume control, and onboard tuner—giving you full control over your amplified sound on stage or in the studio.
