The classical guitar is truly a wonderful instrument. Steeped in history, with an immediately recognisable sound. It is hard to decide what you like most: building one or playing the instrument:
Admittedly, building a Salvador Cortez guitar is a real dream for a luthier. The selection and working of the various top-quality materials using traditional Spanish methods truly give each instrument an individual soul, making it much more than just a guitar. Try one and see what I mean!

The Salvador Cortez CC-2248CE guitar is a classical guitar with nylon strings, also fitted with a cutaway and an electronic amplification system, and featuring a slimmer neck. Like the CC-22 and CC-22CE models, it has a solid cedar top that produces a warm, round sound. With a nut width of 48 mm, it is narrower than the CC-22 and CC-22CE models (52 mm). The CC-2248CE is therefore more comfortable for guitarists switching from an electric or steel-string guitar, as well as for those with small hands.

The adjustable truss rod guarantees a level of playing comfort that is unmatched in this price range. Truss rods are increasingly used on high-end classical guitars but are standard on Salvador Cortez models.
