The C9 Crossover is made by hand in a boutique and small workshop and features solid mahogany back and sides. It is a concert-level instrument that features the best of modern and traditional guitar construction. The top on this beautiful nylon guitar is a classic choice - solid spruce and fan-braced. This style of bracing (pioneered on classical guitars by Antonio de Torres Jurado) gives a far superior bass response and dynamics when compared to a ladder-braced classical. The neck is also made of cedar and is joined to the body using the Spanish heel method - another Torres invention. This is a more time-consuming method of construction where the guitar is built around the beck as opposed to simply being added on. This gives a strong and sturdy construction and makes the body and neck one cohesive piece which clearly has a positive effect on the resonance of the instrument.
This particular instrument has a reduced nut width of 48mm, a thin-profile C-shaped neck with a 16" radius fingerboard and 12 frets to the body. This guitar is designed for a serious player who is after an excellent classical guitar but would like a feel more akin to an acoustic or electric guitar. It also makes a great choice for someone with smaller fingers. Everything adds up on this one to make a very versatile and extremely well-priced nylon strung guitar.
The guitar is fitted with a two-way truss rod so that the neck can be adjusted over time, if needed or desired. It ships with a high-quality set of Savarez strings and a polyfoam case that offers excellent protection whilst still being very light. Extra touches of beauty are added in the form of a pearloid 1920s style rosette and a high-gloss finish.
