The Santana Classical 18 SBK is a full-size classical guitar built in the traditional Spanish guitar style with nylon strings. It is a good choice for young players, teenagers and adults who want a simple, comfortable and easy-to-understand guitar for lessons, practice and everyday acoustic playing.
The guitar is fitted with nylon strings, which feel softer on the fingertips than steel strings. This makes it especially suitable as a first guitar, where comfort and motivation are important from the beginning. The warm and rounded nylon-string sound also makes it well suited for classical pieces, chords, melodies, fingerstyle, folk music and relaxed playing at home.
With its full-size body, the Santana Classical 18 SBK offers a more mature playing feel and a fuller acoustic sound than smaller beginner guitars. It is typically best suited for older children, teenagers and adults who are ready for a standard classical guitar size.
The classical neck has a 52 mm nut width, giving good space between the strings. This is useful for fingerstyle playing, basic classical technique and learning clean chord shapes. Side position markers at the 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th frets also make it easier to find your way around the fingerboard during practice.
The guitar features a laminated spruce top with a black satin finish, giving it a more modern and distinctive look than a traditional natural classical guitar. The natural-coloured back and sides create a nice contrast to the black top, while the nato body and neck provide a solid and straightforward construction.
The rosewood fingerboard and bridge give the guitar a familiar classical feel, while the black body binding, decorative wood mosaic rosette and chrome tuning machines complete the traditional Spanish guitar design. With its simple acoustic construction and no electronics, the Santana Classical 18 SBK is easy to use, easy to understand and ready for focused practice from day one.
