Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Cafe Cortado is a really interesting take on a classical guitar – the pickup system is genuinely good for stage work, and the ergonomic neck makes it surprisingly easy to play. It's a great option for students or gigging musicians who want a quality instrument with amplified capabilities without a premium price tag, though the sound isn't going to fool anyone into thinking it’s a concert-grade all-solid guitar.

- • Solid spruce top with cedar strips delivers a warm, responsive fundamental tone.
- • The ARTEC SQ-3 preamp and Solidflex pickup system offer surprisingly clean amplified sound.
- • Ergonomic asymmetrical neck enhances playability, especially in higher registers.
- • Premium inclusions like the Gewa armrest, strap, and locks add significant value.
- • Plywood back and sides limit the overall resonance and projection compared to all-solid wood models.
- • Water-based satin finish, while eco-friendly, may feel less refined to some players.
- • The Cortado's unique soundhole design might not appeal to players seeking a traditional classical tone.
