Epiphone E-1 Classic 4/4 Size Nylon String Acoustic Guitar

The E-1 Spanish Classic is a classical style acoustic guitar with a Laminated Cedar top, as cedar is one of the "tonewoods" preferred by classical guitar luthiers for its "sweet" and individual sound. The E-1’s Custom PRO-Prietary™ Bracing allows the natural tone of the Laminated Cedar top to ring out with clear highs and balanced lows so a player can easily hear their progress as they develop their guitar vocabulary with chords and runs.

The E-1 Spanish Classic uses Mahogany for the back, sides, and neck. Mahogany is also a favored tonewood for classical guitars and is a perfect compliment to the Laminated Cedar top, helping to acoustically amplify the E-1 Spanish Classic’s incredible tone and also provide the guitar with a comfortable foundation in any environment. The beauty of both Cedar and Mahogany gives the E-1 Spanish Classic a sophisticated profile. Plus, the E-1 Spanish Classic has a reduced body depth which makes it easy to hold for long hours of playing.

The E-1 Spanish Classic has an EZ-Profile™ “D” Shape neck with a traditional 2.0” nut width, a tradition for classical guitars slightly wider then a conventional acoustic guitar. Another innovation the E-1 Spanish Classic offers is a shorter scale, which makes learning chords faster. E-Ease™ Lubricant makes the neck feel smooth and “worn in” on your fingers, and JumboPRO™ frets make it easy to hold down Epiphone’s custom Light Gauge Classical strings.

A guitar that plays this easy has to be able to get in tune and stay in tune fast. The E-1 Spanish Classic features Epiphone Deluxe tuners, which have 16:1 ratio tuning gears that help make finding the right pitch quick and intuitive. Ordinary classical guitar tuners have only a 14:1 ratio, which makes fine tuning difficult, as the string never quite settles in the right place. But tuning is easy with the E-1 Spanish Classic because the higher 16:1 gear ratio lets you adjust your tuning with greater precision so it’s easier to find the right pitch and stay there.
