Two timeless tonewoods
Spruce and rosewood. You can't get much better. Not only is their elegance showcased with a lustrous gloss finish, but they also have a superb, combined tone that will bring your dazzling classical playing to life. Used for the solid top, spruce delivers a wealth of dynamics and projects them with glistening articulation. Even with immense volume, you can count on glorious clarity to coat every note, carrying your sound in deliciously defined fashion. A good amount of spruce's beauty also lies in its versatile nature, allowing you to explore a range of styles without any hindrance.
You'll then have rosewood back and sides injecting your tone with even more shimmering brightness and deep, intense resonance. An excellent, even response across the whole frequency range is provided by rosewood, giving you the beautiful sonic balance you need to delve into various playing techniques.
Exquisite electronics
This magnificent classical guitar is equipped with the CTP-3 CoolTube preamp, an intuitive system that uses a tube design to process the nuances and harmonics of the guitar's natural sound. Extensive EQ controls allow you to tailor your tone with exceptional precision, whilst an integrated tuner means you'll always sound immaculate.
