CEC models that borrow from steel-string cutaway acoustic-electrics with cutaways, narrower nut width, and Fishman electronics. The traditional style AC models have been re-engineered to improve resonance for an authentic classical guitar sound while the CEC models feature slim body with cutaway, 45mm nut width and electronics for steel-string players who love the nylon-string sound.

SOLID RED CEDAR TOP

Compared to spruce, cedar is a bit mellower and warmer. The mid-range is slightly accentuated with a sweeter top-end, making cedar ideal for players who finger-pick a lot and prefer a slightly rounder and fuller sound.

CEC5 Feature MAHOGANY BACK & SIDES

Bright yet natural with a strong and warm midrange, the beloved mahogany wood has been a standard for back and sides on premium acoustics for many decades.

CEC5 Feature1 ¾” (45MM) NUT WIDTH

A slightly narrower nut width that is good for both classical and traditional steel-string acoustic players.

CEC5 Feature25.3” (643MM) SCALE

Slightly shorter than the traditional classical guitar scale length, this results in less string tension for ease of fingering for not only soloing in the high register but for playing chord arpeggios in the low register as well.

CEC5 Feature ADVANCED FAN BRACING

Traditional classical guitar fan bracing is used internally to maximize the vibrational characteristics of nylon strings

D’ADDARIO EXP46N STRINGS

The coated classical nylon strings resist discoloration and corrosion better than standard strings while retaining liveliness and power. Even after the guitar hasn’t been played for weeks or months at a time sitting on a stand or stowed away in its case, the strings still look, sound and feel fresh.

CEC5 Feature SLIM BODY DEPTH

A modern concept developed for players seeking comfort and easier playability, the body depth is 83*83mm.

CEC5 Feature SONICALLY ENHANCED UV FINISH

The high-tech finish is strong and resistant to scratches while being lightweight to improve the natural acoustic resonance of the body for a full-bodied and rich tone.
