La Mancha Rubi CM/63 Classical Guitar
Description
La Mancha Rubi CM/63 Classical Guitar
The Rubi CM/63 is a 7/8 classical guitar that delivers the warmth and resonance of a full-sized instrument in a more compact, ergonomic package. The slightly shorter scale and narrower neck width make this guitar comfortable for extended playing sessions while maintaining the traditional classical guitar feel. Built with premium tonewoods and refined hardware, it responds with clarity and projection across all registers.
Tone & Construction
Solid Canadian cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides creates a warm, full-bodied sound with excellent sustain and balanced resonance. The Toona Kalantas neck reinforced with carbon ensures structural stability while the Ovangkol fingerboard and double-hole bridge design optimize string tension and intonation accuracy. A natural satin open-pore finish enhances the wood's natural acoustic properties while preserving a sophisticated aesthetic.
Feel & Reliability
The 630mm scale length and 52mm neck width at nut sit comfortably in the hands during long rehearsals and gigs, balancing tonal quality with player comfort. Gold-plated tuners with black buttons hold tuning stability set-to-set, essential for gigging demands, while bone nut and saddle ensure clear tone transmission and durability night after night.
