AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Katoh MCG40CEQ blends traditional classical tone with modern performance flexibility, making it an excellent choice for players who want authentic nylon-string sound with stage-ready capability. A solid cedar top delivers warmth, depth, and expressive dynamics, while the sapele back and sides provide clarity and balance across the tonal range. The result is a responsive classical voice that suits solo performance, ensemble work, and recording alike.
Designed for versatility, the MCG40CEQ features a comfortable cutaway for upper-fret access and a Fishman Presys Plus pickup system for natural amplified tone and intuitive control. Premium appointments such as Indian rosewood binding, an all-wood mosaic rosette, and bone nut and saddle reflect Katoh’s attention to detail, while the two-way adjustable truss rod ensures long-term stability and reliable playability.
