About this stunningly slim electro-classical guitar from Valencia
Valencia offers impeccable build quality, stunning value for money, and with the advent of their ToneFlow bracing system they’ve really scaled new heights for classical guitar tone, without pushing up prices.
This electro-classical guitar has a solid red cedar top and beautiful walnut back and sides, with just 7cm of body depth for a fantastically comfortable playing feel.
This has a smooth, natural satin top offset against a high gloss back and sides, gorgeous wooden soundhole rosette decorations and attractive black and white bindings.
The hardware is well specced too, with beautiful (and reliable!) gold plated machine heads.
This particular guitar is priced reflective of being B Stock.
There are subtle patches of discoloration on the satin top, which being satin means it’s impractical to attempt correction.
Please see the 3 photos in which we’ve tried to capture the defect as accurately as possible.
In spite of its very slim body, this guitar offers an incredibly rich and resonant tone thanks to Valencia’s ingenious ToneFlow spanish fan bracing, which cuts non-structural sections from the braces allowing the body to resonate to its full potential without compromising structural integrity.
The premium mahogany neck provides a comfortable, modern playing feel, topped with an Amara ebony fretboard.
The neck joint has been chamfered which combines with the cutaway to make high fret access easy.
If you love the full, mellow and responsive tone of a classical guitar but need extra volume then you’ll be impressed with the Fishman Sonitone under saddle pickup, which gives a crisp and full recreation of the acoustic tone.
The volume and tone controls are neatly tucked away inside the soundhole so that the player can easily adjust them without needing a side-mounted panel which would compromise traditional looks.
This is an exceptional offering from Valencia which will please a wide range of players from comfort-craving classical guitar fans to converts from steel strung or electric guitars.
So call in for a test-play between 11 – 5:30 Wednesday to Saturday, or hit “Buy It Now” to arrange speedy delivery anywhere in the UK.
