Alvarez Cádiz Series CC7HCEAR Concert Classic Hybrid Guitar w/Cutaway & Bevel

CÁDIZ offers responsive and engaging nylon string guitars of a quality and playability we think you’ll adore.  Everything about them is considered and chosen. They are a new shape, different to Classicals we have made in the past, slightly taller, slightly narrower, more elegant.  The soundbox is more lightly built, the tops are graduated and each brace is custom cut and sanded with 4 varying widths in total.

In order to make the guitars as responsive as we could, Alvarez had to keep them as light as we could in construction while staying true to traditional design. So in the standard models there are no trussrods. Our necks are three-piece and a solid Ebony centre rod gives Alvarez the strength and lightness they need. Their Hybrid models do have a trussrod to allow for relief to be adjusted on the radiused fingerboards. CÁDIZ models are also made with a Spanish heel neck joint.

Ramirez and other great luthiers also influenced Alvarez when it came to choosing their scale length. The CÁDIZ scale length is longer than the standard 650mm (25.6”) you will find on many classical guitars. At 660mm (26.”) Alvarez's scale length raises the tension just a little and helps deliver more energy into the soundbox for them to harness and shape.

This CC7 is Alvarez's beautiful Classical Hybrid model made from Sitka and Walnut with a flawless gloss finish and acacia binding and armrest. It has a 14^th Fret neck joint, radius fingerboard and narrower nut width making it a great guitar for steel string players looking for a Nylon string sound without such a departure from a steel string in terms of feel and playability.
