The Principio C Series: A Classical Approach with Modern Luthiery
The Principio C CA-CM 7/8 embodies the spirit of the traditional classical guitar (mosaic rosette, selected woods, elegant finishes) while incorporating modern choices focused on stability and comfort, such as carbon reinforcement in the neck and a microporous water-based varnish. The 7/8 size makes it a relevant alternative to full-size 4/4 models, without sacrificing true projection or rich harmonic content.
Who Is This 7/8 Classical Guitar For?
Thanks to its 7/8 size and shorter scale length, this guitar is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking easier playability (smaller hands, young musicians, or adults wanting more flexibility). It performs well in classical, studies, Latin music, and accompaniment with arpeggios, offering precise attack and a warm timbre.
Sound
The solid cedar top delivers an immediately open sound, with a soft attack, singing midrange, and a beautiful warmth highly appreciated for expressive playing and nuances. The sapelli mahogany body contributes to a balanced midrange register and consistent projection, while the ovangkol fingerboard and bridge enhance note definition and clarity. The matte microporous finish allows the instrument to "breathe" more, which can enhance responsiveness and the feeling of closeness under the fingers.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To complement your practice, you can choose a clip-on tuner (practical and universal), a footrest or a guitar stand for comfortable classical posture playing, as well as a set of classical guitar strings if you want to anticipate replacement (the instrument comes with Hannabach 600HT Original strings with Carbon Sol3).
