Classical Innovation Amplified: The Dean Espana Classical Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black Burst – Modern Technology Meets Timeless Tradition

Embrace the perfect balance of classical guitar heritage and contemporary performance technology with the Dean Espana Classical Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Black Burst, an instrument designed for musicians who refuse to compromise between traditional classical warmth and modern amplification flexibility. The striking black burst finish creates a bold visual statement that sets this classical guitar apart from conservative traditional designs, establishing an instrument that appeals to players seeking classical tone combined with contemporary aesthetic identity and expressive character. The innovative cutaway design revolutionizes classical guitar accessibility, enabling effortless upper-fret exploration and expanded playing possibilities while maintaining the authentic tonal character and construction traditions that define quality classical guitars. The cutaway design eliminates the frustration of limited higher-register access inherent to traditional classical designs, enabling musicians to explore the full fingerboard with comfort and precision. The all-solid construction foundation features a premium solid spruce top that provides the tonal foundation for this instrument's warm, resonant classical character, ensuring clarity and responsiveness characteristic of professional-grade classical guitars. The eastern mahogany body contributes warm harmonic depth and balanced tonal complexity that complements the spruce top's inherent brightness. The set-neck construction ensures optimal structural integrity and consistent neck performance, enabling the body to vibrate freely and efficiently while maintaining long-term stability. The eastern mahogany neck with C-shaped profile provides ergonomic comfort and responsive control suitable for classical fingerstyle technique and exploring contemporary playing approaches. The premium rosewood fretboard paired with nineteen frets delivers a smooth, responsive playing surface with distinctive visual character. The flat fretboard radius accommodates classical technique while providing responsive playability across the entire fingerboard. The Graph Tech NuBone nut ensures consistent tone quality and reliable tuning stability. The scale length of 25.6 inches combined with a generous nut width of 1 7/8 inches creates optimal playing geometry for classical technique and complex fingerstyle arrangements. The classical open gear tuners in black hardware provide functional reliability and contribute to the instrument's contemporary visual aesthetic. The rosewood bridge pairs beautifully with the premium fretboard while contributing to the instrument's warm tonal character. The natural scrape binding provides subtle visual framing with understated elegance. The dual-action truss rod enables precise neck adjustment and setup customization. The integrated Fishman Classica II preamp system represents cutting-edge amplification technology specifically designed for classical nylon-string guitars, delivering authentic tone reproduction and sophisticated amplification control. The built-in EQ system provides intuitive tone shaping, enabling precise adjustment of frequency response for diverse performance and recording scenarios. The Classica II electronics enable seamless transition from intimate unplugged performance to fully amplified studio recording and live performance applications. The sophisticated preamp preserves the natural warmth and resonance of classical guitar tone while providing professional-grade amplification and versatile control. This is an instrument for classical musicians seeking to embrace modern technology without abandoning the acoustic authenticity and tonal traditions that define classical guitar artistry.
