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\"\u003eThis spruce top variant delivers a brighter, more articulate, and projecting tonal character compared to the cedar version - Picea Abies European spruce's characteristic clarity and dynamic range producing a voice that responds with greater brightness and punch across strumming, flatpicking, and expressive fingerstyle playing. The narrower 48mm nut width and 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 and expressiveness of a properly built Spanish nylon-string guitar. The Venetian cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret access for melodic and lead playing, Fishman Sonitone electronics deliver transparent amplified performance, and the adjustable truss rod ensures long-term neck stability and easy action adjustment. 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 with the brighter, more projecting character of a spruce top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid European spruce top delivers a bright, articulate, and projecting classical tone with strong dynamic range and clear note definition - a brighter and more forward tonal character than the cedar variant, well-suited to players who prefer a crisper acoustic voice.\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 European spruce (Picea Abies), 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\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Esteve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48822610493661,"sku":"ESTEVE-CROSSOVERSP","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A9169.jpg?v=1790899825","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/esteve-crossover-sp-classic-ae-cway-48mm-spin","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
