Premium Tonewoods and Construction

The solid spruce top delivers a clear, articulate tone with excellent projection and dynamic response. Paired with solid cocobolo back and sides, the guitar produces deep, rich lows, detailed mids and shimmering highs.

Advanced Bracing and Resonance

The Cristina features a Smallman-style lattice bracing system, enhancing volume, sustain and tonal balance across the entire frequency range. This modern bracing approach allows for increased responsiveness and projection compared to traditional designs.

The Spanish heel construction further improves resonance and structural integrity, ensuring optimal tonal transfer throughout the instrument.

Neck Stability and Playability

The cedar neck is reinforced and fitted with a truss rod, offering both traditional tonal warmth and modern adjustability. This combination provides long-term stability and precise control over playability.

The ebony fingerboard and carefully finished frets ensure smooth, accurate performance across all positions.
