A Gloss Version Designed to Offer More Shine Without Changing the "Traditional Classical" Spirit
The CG142S carries the DNA of an affordable traditional classical guitar, with a focus on comfort and projection. This version stands out with its Gloss finish (high-gloss varnish), which provides a smoother touch, a more elegant aesthetic, and additional daily protection, while maintaining the overall balance of the model.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This guitar is particularly suited for beginners and intermediate players who want a reliable classical guitar to progress, practice positions, arpeggios, and precision. It is well suited for the classical repertoire, Latin music, bossa nova, and accompaniment with soft tones, while remaining responsive enough for studies and nuanced playing.
Sound
The solid Engelmann spruce soundboard is the heart of the tone: it promotes precise attack, good clarity, and convincing projection, with a dynamic response useful for working control (pianissimo/forte). The nato used for the back, sides, and neck provides a balanced tonal foundation, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge contribute to stability and a clearer playing feel, supporting sustain and chord clarity.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of the CG142S, choose a nylon string set for classical guitar compatible with a 25.6" / 650 mm scale length (normal or hard tension depending on your touch). A footrest or an ergonomic support can also improve posture for classical playing.
