The Canela is a truly special instrument. The sinker redwood gives it an immediate, aged character, and the Limba back adds a richness you don't always find. It's ideal for discerning players who demand both exceptional tone and a refined playing experience—think fingerstyle players or those needing a fantastic amplified acoustic for studio work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sinker redwood typically has a more mature, complex tone with slightly reduced high-end brightness, offering a warmer, more 'broken-in' feel.
The armrest genuinely improves comfort, especially for extended playing sessions, reducing fatigue and allowing for more relaxed technique.
The ES2 is widely regarded as exceptionally natural-sounding and remarkably resistant to feedback, offering a very transparent amplified tone.
