Frequently Asked Questions
The Magistral E-S has a more focused and refined tone compared to the Caballero, thanks to the solid walnut back and sides and spruce top – it's a step up in clarity and sustain.
Yes, the Spanish joint allows for a thinner neck profile and often feels quicker and more responsive, but it can take a little getting used to initially.
While it’s not quite the same as nitrocellulose, the eco-lacquer does allow the wood to breathe and mature, resulting in subtle tonal changes over years of playing.
