Description
ESP LTD TL-6N Nylon String Acoustic Electric Guitar in Natural Finish
The TL-6N captures the resonant warmth of a classical nylon-string guitar through a refined thinline body design that records with clarity in tight studio spaces. Its set-neck construction and mahogany chambered body with maple top produce a full acoustic tone that translates convincingly through microphone or direct amplification, making it a versatile tracking tool for classical, fingerstyle, and hybrid instrumental sessions. This B-Stock unit shows cosmetic wear that does not affect playability or sound quality.
Recording & Build Quality
The mahogany neck with thin U contour and 25-inch scale length deliver consistent intonation and responsive feel across takes. 22 jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard ensure accurate note placement, while the rosewood bridge with Graphtech NuBone XB saddle and matching Graphtech NuBone XB nut provide stable tuning and clean tone transmission—critical for minimizing retakes during recording sessions.
Direct Capture & Preamp Control
The B-Band electret film transducer pickup captures the instrument's natural acoustic character with minimal feedback, making it ideal for direct recording without microphone bleed or room coloration issues. The B-Band T-7 preamp features a 3-band EQ, phase filter, volume control, and onboard tuner with easy-to-read display—giving you real-time tone shaping in the mix and quick gain staging adjustments during tracking and overdubs.
