It's far, far better made than the CS336 was! Besides, I have a Squier Esprit which does all the sounds the CS336 does and more, is better finished and nicer to play.
So you'd like it if it was a Strat or LP?

Nathan Sheppard Guitars - now defunct, I think.
I first played this guitar something like 5 years ago and liked it; a year or two later I ordered something inspired by it but it went sour - he's a decent luthier but sucks at basic business sense and customer service. A friend acquired this from the original owner and was looking to trade for something interesting but conventional. I had the CS336 but hadn't really bonded with it, so it seemed a good deal for everyone.
Just had a play through my normal rig and it's very nice - I'll need to tweak the trimpots inside as it could do with a hair more output and a bit more bass.

Ta. The build quality is very good in general. Lots of lovely little design touches too like the pinstriping between body core and caps (also done on the headstock).
IIRC:
Thru-neck - mahogany, maple & walnut laminate, cocobolo fingerboard.
Body wings - mahogany
Pinstripes - maple
Caps - walnut
Bridge - cocobolo
Knobs - ebony
It's surprisingly cohesive for all those different woods.
Quite possibly at some point. It sounds much like any piezo loaded nylon strung guitar to be honest!
It'd be very quiet that way...

I never really "bonded" with the 336 - it played nicely and sounded good, but it was just too badly put together.

I remember Nathan Sheppard guitars from a few years back. I think I may still have a flyer from Music Live from about 98/99. Some cool guitars, but the headstock takes some getting used to! Funnily enough, it looks better now than it did then!

He did a revised 4+2 which was less "challenging". I think this one suits the guitar though.
