A Modern Classical in the Spirit of Takamine

Its Classical Cutaway format and built-in electronics make it a model designed for musicians who alternate between acoustic playing and amplification, without sacrificing playing comfort or refined finish.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This guitar is particularly aimed at advanced beginners and intermediate players seeking a versatile classical, but it will also suit a seasoned musician looking for a reliable instrument for the stage. It excels in classical, soft flamenco, bossa nova, acoustic pop, and vocal accompaniment, with a comfortable feel for chords and arpeggios.
Sound
The solid spruce top provides clarity and responsiveness: the attack is clear, dynamics stand out well, and the guitar maintains good clarity even when fingerpicked. The black walnut back and sides contribute to a balanced sound, with present mids and firm lows, which helps keep a clean tone in accompaniment. The mahogany neck enhances the feeling of stability and supports a warm response, while the laurel fingerboard offers a natural touch, suitable for classical positions as well as quick shifts to the upper frets thanks to the cutaway.
