Almansa Crossover CS-CW SR E2

As most know, crossover nylon string guitars are designed to provide players of electric and steel string guitars with an instrument that has the kind of playability (neck feel and reach) with which they are familiar coupled with the unique sound that only a traditional classical guitar can produce. Thus, the 52mm nut width common to most classicals is generally reduced to a more user friendly 48mm, while the neck's shape is slimmed and the fingerboard radiused to promote a fast feel and supple playability. Additionally, a "crossover" will feature a cutaway which allows easy access to the highest registers of the instrument, and, in most cases, one can expect to find a pickup system featured as well. And while these performance enhancements should appeal to players of all stripes, the greater purpose is to provide the non classical player with new and exciting tonal resources. In the case of this new Almansa "crossover" model, one will enjoy all the playing benefits just described and also will be introduced to the voice of a true Spanish made guitar - a sound that is bold and crisp, and responsive to both subtle and aggressive playing. And, paired with Fishman's Prefix Pro Blend pickup system its unique character can be fully exploited. Plan to have fun.
