Altura A7C-CE Nuevo Crossover Classical Electric Guitar

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 2 pickup system delivers natural 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 2 pickup system delivers natural, 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.
