Built in Valencia by Guitarras Esteve, a family guitar-making company with roots going back to 1957 and a reputation for combining old-world Spanish craftsmanship with modern player needs, the Crossover bridges the gap between classical tradition and contemporary playability in a way that feels genuinely natural from the first note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe narrower 48mm nut width - significantly more accessible than the standard 52mm classical nut - and the 16\" radius curved fingerboard make chording, bending, and position work feel familiar to players coming from steel-string or electric instruments without sacrificing the warmth, expressiveness, and tonal complexity of a properly built Spanish nylon-string guitar. The solid cedar top delivers the warm, immediately responsive classical tone that cedar is celebrated for, while the Venetian cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret access for melodic playing and performance work. Fishman Sonitone electronics with built-in tuner provide transparent, reliable amplified performance, while the adjustable truss rod ensures long-term neck stability and easy action adjustment - another practical crossover-friendly feature rarely found on traditional classical instruments. Ideal for steel-string and electric players exploring nylon-string tone, performing musicians who need a reliable amplified classical voice, and anyone who wants a genuine Spanish-made crossover guitar at a serious quality level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid cedar top delivers warm, immediately responsive classical tone with rich harmonic content - cedar's characteristic fast response and natural depth making the Crossover feel expressive and rewarding from the very first note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrower 48mm nut width and 16\" radius curved fingerboard significantly reduce the transition difficulty for steel-string and electric players - making classical technique more accessible without compromising the nylon-string tonal experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenetian cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret access for melodic and lead playing - extending the Crossover's versatility well beyond the range available on a standard non-cutaway classical guitar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishman Sonitone electronics deliver transparent, natural-sounding amplified classical tone suitable for live performance and studio recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable truss rod ensures long-term neck stability and easy action adjustment - a practical crossover-friendly feature that makes the Esteve Crossover far more serviceable and adaptable than traditional classical construction allows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Classical cutaway (Venetian)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid cedar (Thuja Plicata), gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack: Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia), laminated satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSides: Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia), laminated satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis), adjustable truss rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Indian rosewood, 16\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 48mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Top gloss, back and sides satin polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Fishman Sonitone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Spain (Valencia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ESTEVE-CROSSOVER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Esteve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48822581493981,"sku":"ESTEVE-CROSSOVERCD","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A9184.jpg?v=1790899845","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/esteve-crossover-cd-classic-ae-cway-48mm-cdin","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
