Nylon chorus

Once upon a time, I used to dislike guitars with nylon strings with a passion. Here are my reasons:

• Strings feel thick / overwhelming to the touch. I find nylon strings too fat (for want of a better adjective). This caused playing discomfort.
• Strings are slippery. That's right, these don't stay put when fretted, they tend to move, giving me unnecessary vibrato which made me sound out of tune.
• Guitar sounds dull. This is especially true for the plain strings. I can tolerate the wound strings, though.
• Took forever to tune. Nylon strings required next to forever to tune (especially the fresh ones) in view of their elasticity. I needed to tune the guitar every time I stopped playing. Darn.

These were my opinions on any guitars with nylon strings on board. They were just not my thing. Putting things into perspective, back then, when I was still struggling to play the electric guitar, people kept shoving classical guitars into my face which was a double whammy due to the extra fat neck. 

Fast forward 2022 / 2023 - an ex-colleague passed me her daughter's nylon string electro-acoustic guitar for re-stringing & a minor set up (just lowered the action a tad). I had to plug in the guitar to know if the under saddle pickup was working. The amp happened to have on-board chorus & the guitar sounded darn appealing. I messed with the EQ settings & realized those bland sounding plain strings benefitted from some treble boost. That triggered my nylon-string adventure & it had not stopped ever since.
