The nylon-string SC3 Paloma was developed by Guild's R&D staff at the Custom Shop in Nashville, in collaboration with Fishman Electronics. The Paloma’s Mahogany body features a proprietary set of tone chambers and a solid Spruce top, which combine to provide a rich nylon-string timbre and long sustain at any volume level. The Paloma’s neck has 15 frets clear of the body and a 20" fingerboard radius, combining the feel of a classical with the reach of an electric.
