The tone goes deep into the bass range, which also gives the guitar a prominent treble. The sound of this guitar means that this guitar is suitable for many different music styles.

El Clasico 76 is an obvious choice of classical guitar for the discerning beginner and the slightly experienced guitarist, who will not compromise on either sound or quality.

El Clásico 76 has edge bindings made of East Indian rosewood and tuning screws with gold finish, which gives the guitar an even more exclusive look.

Why solid top?

The reason we have used an expensive solution with the solid top is that the guitar will only get better with time and as you play it. That is because the solid wood will dry out more over time. Also the vibrations from your use of the guitar will cause the structure of the wood to change. Both parts mean that vibrations get more free running in the wood. And the guitar’s sound will become more resonant and get more and clearer sound in the bass register. The more you play – the better the sound. So, play a lot!
