Daniel Slaman Nylon crossover (2001) Mahogany & Cedar, K&K PU, Case
This is Daniel Slaman Nylon crossover acoustic electric. Daniel Slaman is a Dutch luthier based in den Hague and he has been making guitars for 35 years. Born in 1957, he made his first guitar around at age 18, and slowly turned from making classical guitars into archtop guitars. Since 1985 he's known for his great Archtop guitars but in between he made some amazing nylon guitars, like this 2001 nylon Crossover. Designed beautifully, and to my knowledge very rare. This Daniel Slaman features a solid mahogany body, solid dark cedar top, This Guitar is relatively small and similar to the Lowden S model, maybe a tad wider in the lower bout, features a mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, 650mm(25.5") scale length, 53mm width at the nut, slotted head, with rosewood headstock overlay. To our best knowledge the pickup installed was a fishman, but we changed it for a K&K. The guitar is beautifully designed in a minimalistic way. and the finish on the back is open and porious, and sprayed without using filler, possibly a custom order. Set up is excellent and there is lots of saddle left to lower more. The guitar shows small signs of wear, little scratches and tiny dents, but no cracks or structural issues, the frets are in good condition. There are no issues, and to our knowledge its quite a unique guitar that sound wonderful and matured like good vintage guitars do. Sure you can buy a new guitar without the playwear, but i'm confident it doesn't have the soul and mojo of this guitar. Included is a good solid case.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands 
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
