More tactile and sensitive than Sitka spruce, Engelmann spruce exhibits a clear and smooth top-end that is responsive to a light soft touch, making it ideal for solo fingerstyle players or folk/pop singer-songwriters where the acoustic guitar takes center stage. Solid mahogany back and sides enhance low-frequency richness and midrange complexity to complement Sol Encanto’s top-end presence and detail. In addition to a traditional soundhole, Sol Encanto offers a unique playing experience with its side-mounted sound port. With the sound directed towards your ears, you’ll be able to hear every nuance of your technique, even when playing softly. And your audience with be rewarded with balanced, room-filling acoustic tone, whether they’re sitting in front of you or off to the side. To reduce the fatigue from playing due to the wide fretboard of classical guitars and to minimize the discomfort for traditional steel-string guitar players transitioning to classical guitar playing, a nut width of 48mm and a string spacing of 60mm were applied. Wooden check-pattern binding on the body gives Sol Encanto a touch of visual distinction. Known for its enhanced definition and attack, ebony is the perfect choice to enhance Sol Encanto’s sonic character. The Mother-of-Pearl inlay at the 12th fret marks the commitment to craftsmanship we put into every instrument. Classical-style tuning machines with black keys provide tuning stability and an elegant look. A sophisticated Fishman® Flex Blend preamp system and S-Core pickups facilitate the best of mic’d and piezo functionality, equally suited to both recording and gigging. |
