Electro-acoustic classical guitar with cutaway
If you want a classical guitar that performs strongly acoustically and is also versatile when amplified, the Juan Salvador 4 CE OP sits in a serious segment. This 4/4 nylon-string guitar has a Spanish shape with cutaway for easier access to higher positions, and it suits advanced players who value tone, definition and control.
The solid American red cedar top gives the Juan Salvador a warm, rounded voice, while sapeli back and sides add clarity and projection. Combined with an African mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, this creates a richly voiced classical guitar with strong definition and comfortable playability.
Fishman Presys Blend for stage and studio
For amplified use, this electro-acoustic classical guitar uses a Fishman Presys Blend preamp with both piezo and microphone pickup sources. The blend control lets you mix both signals to suit your playing style and situation, from recording to live performance.
The control section includes volume, bass, middle, treble, blend, notch and a built-in tuner. That notch filter helps reduce feedback, which is especially useful on stage. In a music store with its own workshop like Magna Music, this kind of serious classical guitar also makes sense if you appreciate personal advice from people who play themselves.
Construction, finish and playing dimensions
The Juan Salvador 4 CE OP has a 650 mm scale length and a 52 mm nut width, dimensions that fit well with a 4/4 classical study guitar. The fingerboard and bridge are ebony, the nut and saddle are ABS, and position markers are present at the 5th, 7th and 12th positions.
Details include a wooden rosette, double binding and a transparent open pore finish that highlights the natural look. The gold-plated Nanchang tuners with lyra engraving, amber buttons and white rollers are aimed at accurate tuning, while the glossy overall build completes the refined character of this Juan Salvador.
