Altamira N300 Solid Cedar Top Classical Guitar at Music Park in Perth

N300

Our entry level N300 is an excellent guitar for beginner and intermediate classical guitar students. This guitar has laminated Indian rosewood back and sides, and has a beautiful Spanish tone. The top of the guitar is the vital component for generating sound, vibrating as each string is plucked. With solid top guitars, the more this soundboard vibrates, the more this single piece of wood adapts and ‘opens up’ which improves the quality of sound as the guitar ages.

Premium Sustainable Woods

Altamira guitars are made with the highest quality and fully sustainable aged woods sourced from Europe and the Americas – Spruce from Germany, Cedar from Spain, Rosewood from India, Cocobolo from Central America and Maple from Canada. Altamira guitars are solid top guitars. The top of the guitar is the vital component for generating sound, vibrating as each string is plucked. With solid top guitars, the more this soundboard vibrates, the more this single piece of wood adapts and ‘opens up’ which improves the quality of sound as the guitar ages.

Handcrafted

Altamira guitars are hand crafted using traditional Spanish construction processes. Every guitar made by Altamira is hand joined, bound (wrapped with the traditional Spanish rope method), carved and shaped by hand, and assembled to ensure the highest quality instruments are produced.

Traditional Design

Altamira guitars feature the Spanish heel-neck joint – the traditional neck joint in Spanish guitar construction. This technique involves the neck and head-block being carved from a single piece of wood, which integrates into the body of the guitar and causes the entire instrument to vibrate in unison.

Optimum Set Up

Altamira guitars are constructed to optimise playability and stability. All are instruments are set using laser technology, with the playing action (height above strings) balanced to ensure ease of playablity along with projection.
