A more familiar neck
There is no single crossover neck. Emerald Tiger No. 767 uses a 49 mm nut, while the classical-flamenco crossover No. 716 uses 48 mm. Your reference instrument helps establish the right direction.
Nylon / Instrument family
Crossover
A nylon voice with dimensions and access chosen for the way you already play.
The playing brief
What makes this direction different?
For musicians moving between classical, steel-string and electric instruments. Crossover is a conversation about feel: the neck, spacing, body depth and upper-fret access can matter as much as the choice of wood.
Body and access
Full body, semi-cutaway, palm bevel and full cutaway are different choices. Body depth and soundhole placement are considered with your seated or standing playing position.
On stage
Pickups and controls are specified around the system you use. Amplification is an option to discuss, not a promise that every photographed guitar carries the same electronics.

Before you choose
A few useful answers.
How is Crossover different from Nylon-string Jazz?
Crossover starts with the player's preferred feel across different guitar traditions. Nylon-string Jazz focuses on our cutaway, offset-soundhole instruments and their stage-oriented playing brief. The two can overlap.
Are left-handed instruments possible?
Yes. No. 491 is a completed left-handed crossover. Handedness, access and control placement are agreed when the instrument is specified.
