Description

Edit description

Designed for the discerning classical guitarist, the De Salvo CG-20 combines traditional craftsmanship with modern enhancements. A standout feature is its solid cedar top, which provides a warm, resonant sound that projects beautifully in any setting. This guitar's body is crafted from select mahogany, offering a rich tonal depth that complements its vibrant treble notes. The neck, also made from mahogany, feels smooth and comfortable, making it ideal for extended playing sessions.

The CG-20 features a rosewood fingerboard, known for its durability and smooth playing surface, ensuring you glide effortlessly through intricate pieces. The guitar's body is meticulously finished with a hand-applied natural gloss, enhancing both its visual appeal and resonance. Tuning stability is achieved through high-quality machine heads, allowing you to focus on your playing without frequent adjustments. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned performer, the De Salvo CG-20 offers an exceptional playing experience, balancing quality and affordability.

Key Features:

Solid cedar top for warm, resonant sound
Select mahogany back and sides for tonal depth
Mahogany neck for comfort and playability

Amusingly awful

The cogs in the tuning machines turn to dust with even medium tension strings.
