Electro-acoustic 4/4 classical guitar with cutaway, solid cedar top, mahogany body, mahogany neck and pickup system
With the semi-solid Almansa Student 403Cutaway, the Spanish manufacturer expands its extensive classical guitar range to include an electro-acoustic instrument with a natural sounding pickup system and a generous cutaway. The Student 403 owes its acoustic sound to an evenly grained red cedar top, which in combination with the laminated mahogany body produces a very warm and powerful tone. The high-grip mahogany neck with its fine rosewood fretboard is made even more accessible by a cutaway, which allows the player to easily grasp even the highest of the 18 frets. In addition, a finely notched nut with a width of 52 mm and a saddle that is adjusted with millimetre precision ensure a clean intonation over the entire scale length of 650 mm. Nickel-plated tuners adorn the elaborately crafted headstock, which with its detailed ornamentation is not only a visual enrichment, but also enables precise tuning of the 6 strings due to its smooth-running pegs. For unadulterated amplification, the manufacturer relies on a high-quality Fishman Clásica M pickup system, which, in addition to a 3-band equalizer, has an integrated tuner and allows the acoustic sound to be fully accentuated. The isntrument is rounded off by a multi-layered red binding, a multi-faceted sound hole rosette and a noble high-gloss finish.
