Katoh MM12 Classical Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

The Katoh MM12 is a serious classical guitar built to professional series standards, offering a tonewood specification that competes well above its price point. The solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides deliver a bright, projecting classical tone with excellent treble articulation and a full, warm bass response, while the ebony fingerboard and bone nut and saddle reflect a level of material quality more commonly found in boutique instruments. The all-natural inlaid wood mosaic rosette adds a refined aesthetic touch that sets the MM12 apart visually from lesser student guitars.

With a cedar neck, Martinez by Der Jung tuning machines, and D'Addario strings fitted as standard, the MM12 arrives ready to play at a high level straight from the case. Ideal for advanced students preparing for examinations and recitals, conservatorium players seeking a reliable performance instrument, and adult guitarists who want a genuinely capable solid-wood classical guitar without stepping into handmade luthier territory.

Features

  • Solid spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides delivers a bright, projecting classical tone with articulate trebles, a rich bass response, and the tonal complexity that only solid tonewoods provide.
  • Ebony fingerboard offers superior hardness, smoothness, and tonal clarity over rosewood alternatives — a premium material typically reserved for higher-priced instruments.
  • Bone nut and saddle improve sustain, resonance, and tonal transfer compared to synthetic alternatives, contributing meaningfully to the MM12's overall acoustic performance.
  • All-natural inlaid wood mosaic rosette and high gloss PU finish reflect careful aesthetic attention and a level of visual refinement consistent with a professional series instrument.
  • Fitted with D'Addario strings and Martinez by Der Jung tuning machines as standard, ensuring reliable tuning stability and excellent playability from day one.
