Essential Information About the EC132SC Natural Classical Electro-Acoustic Guitar

• Solid cedar top: a quick and warm response, ideal for fingerstyle playing and nuances.

• Rosewood back and sides: beautiful depth in the bass and a generous sustain feel.

A nod to Spanish tradition, designed for modern needs

The EC132SC follows the spirit of traditional classical guitars, with a clear inspiration from the designs of Antonio de Torres, a major figure in modern classical guitar. It incorporates these lutherie codes while adding contemporary elements such as the cutaway and electronics, to meet today's requirements without betraying the "classical" aesthetic.

For whom, and for which styles?

This classical electro-acoustic guitar is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a comfortable, versatile instrument that's ready to plug in. It is very well suited for classical, soft flamenco, bossa nova, pop, and vocal accompaniment, with the advantage of the cutaway to work on pieces or passages that climb high up the neck.

The sound

The solid cedar top provides a naturally warm and expressive tone, with a soft attack that highlights dynamics even at low volumes. The rosewood back and sides enhance the sense of depth, with more present bass and bright trebles, which balances the nylon strings very well. Acoustically, it offers ample projection and pleasant sustain; plugged in, the CT4-DX electronics preserve the tonal identity while gaining presence for stage or studio use.
