Cuenca 50-R

handmade spainish guitar with solid cedar top, laminated rosewood, ebony fingerboard, mahogany + german cedar neck, gold plated tuner. made in 2005/06 , No pickup, purely classical guitar.

Sound is awesome , tight bass, clear treble. Solid cedar top suppose to sound mellow but ive changed the string to hard tension Saveraz string. It gives me crystal clear sound and very responsive . Suitable for all kind of classical, pop , soul. Tone is well balanced and rich.

its handmade so i wouldnt expect it built like a yamaha guitar. some of the board edge is not as smooth. the bridge is somehow shorter. not fit. Action is high at higher note but thats ok . Well , its a handmade guitar, it suppose to be like that. Overall the guitar still look nice and it doesnt affect the sound at all. Solid guitar.

ive been playing the guitar for 3 months, so far it still ok and the sound is getting better. shouldnt be any problem for live playing. i would expect the guitar will last at least 10 years easily. The guitar smells nice too with the rosewood.

there is 3 years warranty but so far i dont think i need it yet.

Overall is a nice guitar. sound is nicely produced . I own a yamaha guitar previously but it is nothing compare to Cuenca . Honestly, the built quality might not as good compare to some of the famous guitar like alhambra but the sound of Cuenca simply beat them all. The seller said the guitar came out from the same factory as alhambra .
