{"product_id":"altura-a1m-ce","title":"Altura A1M-CE Alumna Classical Electric Guitar","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Altura A1M-CE takes the proven A1M student classical platform and adds a cutaway body and onboard pickup, making it a genuinely versatile entry-level instrument for beginning players who want to explore both acoustic and amplified nylon-string playing from the start. The spruce top and sapele back and sides deliver a clear, bright, and well-projected classical tone with impressive depth for a student instrument, while the cutaway body opens up the upper frets for melodic exploration and makes the guitar immediately more engaging and versatile for players who come from an electric or steel-string background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 50mm nut width sits comfortably between the standard 52mm classical and narrower steel-string formats - accessible enough for beginners transitioning from other instruments while preserving a nylon-string feel. Bone nut and saddle, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, black ABS binding, and a satin open-pore finish provide a clean, natural look and a comfortable playing experience well-suited to extended practice. Supplied with an Altura Light gig bag. Ideal for beginner students who want an amplified classical guitar from day one, younger players starting lessons who want easy upper-fret access, and anyone looking for an all-in-one entry-level nylon-string package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSpruce top with sapele back and sides delivers a clear, bright, and well-projected nylon-string tone with impressive depth for a student instrument - a reliable and rewarding tonewood combination at the entry level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCutaway body provides comfortable upper-fret access, making the A1M-CE more versatile and engaging for beginners and particularly well-suited to players transitioning from electric or steel-string instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOnboard pickup allows students to plug in and explore amplified nylon-string playing from the earliest stages - a practical and motivating feature for players with performance aspirations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBone nut and saddle improve sustain, tonal transfer, and tuning stability over synthetic alternatives - a meaningful upgrade that sets the A1M-CE apart from most entry-level classical guitars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e50mm nut width and satin open-pore finish provide a comfortable, accessible playing experience well-suited to developing technique across extended practice sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eModel: Altura A1M-CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeries: Alumna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody: Classical 4\/4 cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTop: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides: Sapele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck: Nato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBridge: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNut \u0026amp; saddle: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNut width: 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBinding: Black ABS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Open pore satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eElectronics: Onboard pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStrings: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIncludes: Altura Light gig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Altura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48266914529501,"sku":"ALTURA-A1M-CE","price":529.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/a1mce.png?v=1785201479","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/altura-a1m-ce","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
