Altamira - N100 7/8 RN

The Altamira N100 7/8 RN has been designed for players looking for a comfortable classical guitar that's easy to pick up and easy to grow with over time. Its 7/8 format gives it a more compact feel than a standard classical, which is a big help to beginners, teenagers or guitarists who prefer an instrument that's a little less imposing under the arm.

The solid cedar top plays an important role in the character of this guitar. From the very first notes, it develops a warm, mellow sound, with a natural response that's great for working on nuances, arpeggios or early classical pieces. As is often the case with solid tops, the sound also gains in openness over the years and hours of playing.

The African mahogany neck, back and ribs contribute to this well-balanced personality, with present mid-range and good overall clarity. The Indian rosewood fingerboard keeps a fluid feel under the fingers, useful for working out positions and movements cleanly.

Thanks to its 636 mm scale and 50 mm nut width, the N100 7/8 RN is particularly comfortable for players who want a little more comfort without losing the feel of a real classical guitar. It's perfect for learning classical, acoustic or beginner fingerstyle.
