The Altura A7C-CE Crossover is a thoughtfully conceived instrument that bridges the world of Spanish classical guitar with the ergonomic demands of players who have come from steel-string or electric backgrounds. The solid spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides produce a genuinely expressive nylon-string voice - clear and articulate through the spruce top, with the deep bass response and rich harmonic detail that Indian rosewood is celebrated for - while the 48mm nut width and radiused rosewood fingerboard deliver a familiar, fast playing feel that makes the transition to nylon strings comfortable and intuitive rather than awkward.

The cutaway body provides comfortable upper-fret access for melodic and lead playing, and the Fishman Presys Blend pickup system delivers natural, blended amplified tone that suits both live performance and recording. Rosewood/maple/rosewood/maple binding, a rosewood and inlay bridge, bone nut and saddle, okoume neck, and a gloss polyurethane finish complete a specification that reflects careful attention to both playability and tonal quality throughout. Supplied with an Altura Deluxe Padded gig bag. Ideal for steel-string and electric players exploring nylon-string tone, crossover guitarists performing in amplified settings, and anyone who wants the expressiveness of a classical guitar in a body and neck format that feels immediately familiar.

Features

• Solid spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides delivers a genuinely expressive nylon-string voice - clear and articulate on top, with deep bass response and rich harmonic detail that suits both classical and contemporary playing styles.
• 48mm nut width and radiused rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable, familiar playing feel for players crossing over from steel-string or electric guitars - significantly more accessible than a standard 52mm classical nut width.
• Fishman Presys Blend pickup system delivers natural, blended amplified tone with onboard EQ and tuner - making the A7C-CE a practical and versatile choice for live performance and direct recording.
• Cutaway body design provides comfortable upper-fret access, extending the guitar's range for melodic playing and making it well-suited to contemporary crossover styles beyond traditional classical repertoire.
• Bone nut and saddle, rosewood/maple/rosewood/maple binding, and gloss polyurethane finish reflect a level of material quality and visual refinement that sets the A7C-CE apart from standard student crossover guitars.
