Location: SoCal | It's a Folklore. And it's a steel string. I saw this, thought about emailing the seller, but decided to let it go. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Thanks, I did email the Seller with my hunch and asked for more pictures. I don't see this as needing to come to my house at that price but it would be nice to have. |

Location: Omaha | Actaully, Dave, those aren't classical tuners: the string posts are the narrow, metal, steel string version, NOT the plastic, wide, nylon string version. And I believe the Josh White model had a 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" nut, very close to the Country Artist nylon string nut. So it LOOKS close, but not quite 'white.' (Bad pun)

It's a Folklore (look at bridge) that someone changed the tuners so they could use nylon strings!(look at bridge,again)
Some unknowing folks see a slothead guitar and automatically think it's a nylon stringed classical....... :rolleyes: |

Maybe then, it's NOT a Josh White model . . . . but a Wendy O. Williams model instead . . . |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think whoever said it was classical tuners on a Folklore was right on. I still have fantasies about Wendy O and the electrical tape. I wonder what she looks like now. Dave |

Location: Omaha | Sorry - now I'm the one who's feeling old (and blind). I was only seeing the reflective part of the post - which looked thin; I totally missed the wide wraps on the wound strings).
I stand humbled and corrected (nothing new for a married guy with four kids...).
