I've played a number of Taylor nylon string guitars. From the way they sound and feel, I get the impression they're primarily intended for the steel-string player who wants to add a nylon sound to his bag of tricks. Hence the narrower neck and a sound that's quite a bit different from that usually associated with good classical guitars. I like 'em a lot, but I'm not a classical guiatrist. I imagine a lot of purely classical players find them to be abominations.
