John Pearse PJ116 Nylon String Sound Demo (No Talking) – Fingerpicking Folk on Taylor Academy 12e-N

No-talking nylon string sound demo of the John Pearse PJ116 Fingerpicking Folk set on a Taylor Academy 12e-N, played fingerstyle to showcase tone, feel and response. The piece is “Yesterday” by The Beatles, used here as a familiar reference to judge melody clarity and bass support.

If you’re a string-gear nerd wondering how the John Pearse PJ116 Fingerpicking Folk set behaves on a nylon-strung Taylor for fingerstyle, this video is all about the sound – no talking, just the guitar.

Guitar: Taylor Academy 12e-N

Strings: John Pearse PJ116 Fingerpicking Folk (nylon/classical)

Scale length: 24 7/8" (Taylor Academy 12e-N)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Style: Fingerstyle & chord-melody

What to listen for:

– Warm, rounded bass vs. note definition for alternating-thumb patterns

– Treble clarity on the “Yesterday” melody line

– Sustain and separation in chord-melody passages

– How the PJ116 set responds to a light fingerstyle touch and rest strokes

– Overall balance across the set for folk/fingerstyle rather than classical repertoire
