Petros Guitars is returning, at least in part, to its early roots of building fine, classic guitars. The Nylon Crossover is the latest addition to the Petros line of exquisite, handmade guitars. This guitar incorporates some wonderful innovations designed for the musician who wants to crossover from steel to nylon and back again without a big difference in feel. The Petros Nylon Crossover is the "new classic" guitar, featuring a modern body shape, slimmer neck to make the string spacing feel more like that of a steel strung guitar, fully compensated, back slanted bridge saddle and an all wood, lattice bracing system that produces incredible resonance.

Anyone looking for a guitar that will do both fingerstyle and flatpicking, and do it well? After numerous requests for just such an instrument Petros Guitars decided that after 30 years of perfecting just two models, perhaps there was a legitimate need for a third model.

The Petros Grand Concert: A guitar that does it all... with a sensuous and riveting sound that will awe you in standard tuning and melt you in alternate tunings. Dimensionally between the FS and D, it is sensitive enough to use light gauge strings and sturdy enough for mediums.

The GC body dimensions:
19 1/2" Long
15 1/2" Lower bout
9 5/8" Waist
11 3/8" Upper bout
4 1/2" at the deepest

The Petros Dreadnought Guitar: For the discriminating flat picker, strummer, singer - songwriter... anyone who wants a guitar with power, depth and clarity. Dimensionally equivalent to most other dreadnoughts but with a narrower waist so it sits easier on your knee.

Petros D's are specifically designed for medium gauge strings and meant for power. They are amazingly loud and have a wonderful, rich, full bass, crystal clear mids and singing trebles. They won't "clip" when you push them yet they have the subtlety and nuance of a fine classical.

The D body dimensions:
20 " Long
16" Lower bout
10" Waist

The Jumbo is a large bodied instrument that is generally strung up with medium gauge strings and is meant to be used for more aggressive power playing. It is also well suited for fingerstyle playing if you don’t mind the larger body size.

The scale length is 25 1/2”

A large bodied, low tuned instrument with a sonorous sound reminiscent of a cello.
This instrument will open new creative pathways for you as it brings a whole new tonal soundscape to your fingers. My favorite wood combination for this instrument is Walnut and Redwood, but whatever wood combination you can dream of will be fine.

It turns out the pre-stressed arched top, symmetrical bracing and proprietary spruce bridge plate are ideally suited to meet the strength and tonal needs of a 12-string guitar. In addition, the back slanted bridge and saddle make for the perfect string clearance needed for the back strings as well as all the other advantages this design affords. New, smaller, wooden tuner buttons were designed specifically for the 12-string. This takes a significant amount of weight off the head making this 12 string lighter than you are likely used to, and perfectly balanced. Don’t forget their unique neck contour! All of these features make for a guitar that is light, stable, responsive and a joy to play.

The best body style for our 12 string in my opinion is the GC.
Joining it at the 12th fret gives it a full round sound.
The shorter 12 fret neck makes it more stable.
