The Esteve Classical Guitar Model 8 is a full bodied Spanish Guitar, all solid wood with the result being a rounder, louder and richer tone with more projection. The Western Red Cedar is remarkably beautiful, while the East Indian Rosewood is equally so for the back and sides, all solid. Rosewood purfling, Rosewood bridge, Ebony fingerboard, Ebony re-inforced neck, Scale length 650 mm and nut width is 52 mm. The action is set up moderate. It is difficult to find a true Spanish build at this price, but of course Manuel Adalid can be considered the epitome of such luthiers, building for many of the other Spanish houses. The name Adalid as well as Esteve, both owned by Manuel and his partners, are considered among the penultimate Spanish name in classical and flamenco style guitars in the Valencia region of Spain. No cracks, no repairs.
Excellent student guitar. The price includes a Gig bag.
