Here for sale we have a left handed Joan Cashimira 140L classical guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Built in Spain, this guitar features a solid Canadian Cedar top, laminated Indian Rosewood back and sides, Honduran Cedar neck, 19 fret Ebony fingerboard, Indian Rosewood bridge and a bone nut.
The gloss finish neck plays very well, with its fairly flat profile providing ergonomic thumb positioning and a fluid, articulate playing surface. The 2.07” nut width is traditional for a classical guitar and offers comfortable string spacing for excellent note separation. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and adds a touch of luxury to the playing experience.
The Joan Cashimira 140L has a wonderfully balanced tone, with a warm and even response. A warm yet well defined low end gives way to smooth low mids and clear upper midrange, along with crisp and articulate highs. The guitar delivers a wide dynamic range with no loss of clarity at higher volumes. Overall a very well built classical guitar with an excellent dynamic response and warm tone that would be well suited to the majority of players.
