Are there Gibson guitars with nylon strings?

Question

I cant find a gibson with nylon strings and electronics online. . Im pretty sure they sell them but i cant find any.

Do you know any places that sell them? if so, where?

Answer 1

called a classical guitar

Answer 2

Most nylon string guitars are acoustic, but there are some with pick ups. By Gibson? Try Gibson Chet Atkins CE. I know Ovation makes some and I think Alvarez also. Good luck !!

Answer 3

Well if you can't find it...Is it possible for you to get the gibson guitar that you want and then string it with nylon strings of your choice?

Answer 4

Guitars with nylon strings are classical guitars, used not surprisingly for playing classical music.  If you play classical music then that's the right guitar for you but Gibson very frankly is not known for making classical guitars.  Gibson is known for making high quality electric guitars and acoustic guitars, all of which use steel strings.

If you can afford a Gibson but want a classical guitar look for one of the Ramirez student models, which Gibson imports.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a nylon string guitar because someone told you this is easier on your fingers, you should first ask yourself what kind of music you want to play and what's the best guitar for that.  If that turns out to be a steel string guitar - which it probably will be - then buy it and put on light gauge strings and don't worry about finger pain, which will go away in any case after a few weeks.  Good luck.

Answer 5

Do yourself a favor, buy this guitar

Takamine EAN30C nylon string or

Takamine EAN60C nylon string or

Takamine EC132C CLASSICAL

and forget about Gibson. These are the best in production acoustic/electric nylon stringed guitar.

The only nylon stringed guitar I am aware of by Gibson is the Chet Atkins model. Solid body.
