In the Occitania range, this OC118CE emphasizes quality classical craftsmanship and a true electro-acoustic dimension. The combination of a solid top and a comprehensive preamp makes it a guitar designed to go from the living room to the stage without losing the warm character of a nylon-string.
The OC118CE is aimed at motivated beginners looking for a beautiful, evolving instrument, as well as intermediate players who want a reliable classical guitar for practice and amplified playing. It feels at home in classical, bossa, soft flamenco, nylon-string pop/variety, and any fingerstyle repertoire where nuance and balance are key.
The solid red cedar top delivers an immediate response and a warm tone, with a rich midrange: perfect for making the notes "speak" without effort. The fan bracing, typical of classical guitars, promotes natural projection and expressive dynamics, useful both for arpeggios and light rasgueados. The khaya back and sides support the whole with a rounded bass and good stability, while the Brown Brankowood fingerboard and bridge contribute to definition and attack precision. Plugged in, the Astro-Lâg electronics allow you to shape the sound (equalization, brightness) and secure the stage performance thanks to the notch filter and phase inversion, practical against feedback.
Since this guitar is designed for nylon strings, you can stick with the original gauge Savarez 510 MRJ Creation Cantiga mixed tension to maintain the intended balance and feel, or choose any equivalent nylon string suitable for classical guitars.
