Strong match

Who this is for

  • Electric players adding nylon-string parts without fighting a classical neck
  • Stage work where a traditional classical needs mic'ing to be heard
  • Studio sessions needing a clean, direct nylon sound

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Classical repertoire players who want a wide traditional neck
  • Anyone wanting a purely acoustic instrument — this is built to plug in
  • Budget shoppers; this sits at a professional price point

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

SA electronics

Built for amplified use, so the sound you get is what comes out of the amp or board, not the body.

Detail 02

Nylon strings

Softer on the fingers than steel, with a rounder, warmer attack. Tuning stability takes longer to settle on fresh strings.

Detail 03

Mahogany body and neck

Mahogany is warm and midrange-forward, which is why this leans thick and round rather than bright.

Detail 04

Ebony fingerboard

Hard, dense and slick. Tighter attack than rosewood and it holds up to heavy playing.

Detail 05

Multiac body design

A slimmer, more electric-like body than a traditional classical guitar, so it sits differently and is easier to play standing.

Detail 06

High gloss natural finish

Clear finish over the mahogany. Shows fingerprints and buckle marks more than a satin finish would.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Nylon strings are not interchangeable with steel — never string this with steel
  2. 02New nylon strings stretch for several days before tuning holds
  3. 03Plan for a cable and amp or DI; this is designed to be amplified

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this a real classical guitar?

It is a nylon-string built for amplified playing rather than traditional classical performance. The neck and body are closer to an electric than to a concert classical.

02Can I play it unplugged?

You will hear it, but the body is slimmer than a traditional classical, so acoustic volume is limited. It is meant to be plugged in.

03Will it work for someone coming from electric guitar?

That is the point of the design. The neck and body feel closer to an electric than a classical guitar does, which shortens the adjustment.

04Can I put steel strings on it?

No. It is built for nylon tension. Steel strings put far more pull on the neck and top and will damage the instrument.
