Lush, pillowy classical with great depth, character, and a wonderfully interactive feel. A most visually and tonally striking classical guitar.

We are excited to welcome Esteve Guitars back to The Music Emporium! For many years Esteve guitars consituted the backbone of our classical offerings for aspiring players and professionals alike. We are proud to once again carry these finely crafted, wonderful sounding instruments made in Valencia, Spain.

Among all the new arrivals, this model 12 is easily the most visually arresting of the bunch, announced by the elaborate headstock design. Esteve pulled a very special set of figured Granadillo for this guitar. It looks like a dreamed up hybrid of koa and mahogany, but tonally it conveys the authority and harmonic richness of an exotic rosewood. Magical wood. The cedar top makes for a perfect pair. The model 12 is part of Esteve's higher tier, Professional Level guitars, and features their finest, traditional fan bracing system. The results are an exciting, concert-level classical with a robust, very rewarding sonic palette.
