Beautiful harmonic duo
Solid Sitka spruce top is one of the most popular tonewoods used in acoustic guitars due to its excellent tonal properties. As a softwood, it has a high strength-to-weight ratio and a broad dynamic range. The use of this material on the Cordoba infuses your instrument with balanced and articulate sounds, providing the perfect foundation for the Mini II's tonal characteristics. Additionally, spruce ages well over time, further enhancing the guitar's overall tone.
Complementing the top materials is padauk, an exotic hardwood that is commonly used in guitar making because of its unique tonal qualities. It produces warm, full-bodied sounds with a strong midrange presence and a slightly scooped treble. What's more, its density also contributes to its ability to project volume, making it an excellent choice for live performances. This guitar has a tonal balance that is able to accommodate a variety of genres and playing styles.
Meticulously crafted travel guitar
Not only is the Mini II an aesthetically pleasing instrument, but it is also incredibly playable. The extended 22.22" scale length, combined with the 48mm nut width, makes for a comfortable playing experience that is perfect for musicians of all skill levels. The C-shaped mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard also contribute to the experience, allowing for smooth and easy fretting. Additionally, the dual-action truss rod provides the option to adjust the neck to suit your playing style.
The satin polyurethane finish on the Mini II offers several benefits beyond just providing protection against nicks and scratches. It gives the guitar a smooth and sleek feel, making it comfortable to handle during long practice sessions or performances. The padauk rosette with reconstituted turquoise centre band adds a pop of colour to the instrument and serves as a visual reminder of the high-quality materials, whilst the black body binding sets off the deep red colour adds a touch of elegance to the overall look of the guitar. All of these features work together to create an instrument that not only sounds great but also feels and looks great.
Perfection in even the smallest details
The Mini II is equipped with high-quality hardware that complements its exceptional tonal qualities and playability. Its NuBone nut and saddle contribute to the excellent sustain and intonation, providing clear and balanced tones across all registers. The Savarez strings, known for their exceptional clarity and projection, further enhance the sound. The padauk bridge also adds to the overall harmonic, offering warmth and vibrancy. What's more, the chrome tuning machines work smoothly and accurately, making it easy to keep the guitar in tune during extended playing sessions. An excellent instrument that will meet all your musical needs.
