Bubinga's gorgeous, swirling beauty radiates with a stunning satin finish. And it sounds fantastic too. Much like rosewood, bubinga offers an even response from the lows to the highs, resulting in a beautifully balanced tone. It allows you experience the wonders of clear, sparkling brightness as well as having a sea of resonance beneath. There really isn’t a dreamier tone. But bubinga goes one step further than rosewood. Its higher density makes for greater sustain and clarity, so you can perform with a rich, full sound.
A divine accompaniment to bubinga comes in the form of a solid North American cedar top. This tonewood gives the RCE180T its dark and warm sonic qualities. Awash with overtone content, cedar lends itself to brilliant textures that encompass a smooth richness and plenty of character. It begs your skilful fingerpicking techniques; shimmering clarity will bring every note to life. The RCE180T differs from traditional classical guitars in its unique body shape. The thinline design enables you to play with terrific comfort, allowing your arms more freedom to move and this results in more expressive playing.
Built for intricate fretting techniques, the rosewood fretboard allows you to move across the frets in fast and skilful fashion. It also has the ability to even out any harsh frequencies, so you can be sure to perform with a gorgeously consistent tone. With a silky-smooth finish, your fingertips will feel as if they're floating on air. Better still, the neck is crafted from mahogany, an incredible sturdy wood that can handle any excessive playing. Practice for hours, unleash your creativity during those long studio sessions, and don't hold back on stage. Mahogany's durability and robustness thrives in any setting. Complementing the already beautiful combination of tonewoods with its resonant and punchy sound, mahogany grows more focused as it gets older. So, you will have an instrument that won't wear, but will only become more exquisite.
Reach the higher frets without any struggle thanks to a cutaway body shape. It contributes even more to a wonderfully easy playing experience. With the help of the glistening sound of nylon strings, those higher notes will ring out with gleaming clarity and hang in the air with shimmering sustain.
The RCE180T is a stage-ready instrument. Prepare for beguiling performances. Innovative Fishman C4T electronics respond to the natural tonal qualities of the guitar and enhance them without compromising any stunning authenticity. Retain all that acoustic gorgeousness and still experience the freedom to shape your sound using the 3-band EQ controls. An on-board tuner also ensures that every single note sounds pristine. Equipped with a ONB44 Deluxe gig bag, you will be ready for any impromptu gig with each one sounding as amazing as the last.
