Player Reviews:
"We searched long and hard for a quality crossover nylon string. Many feel good but don't have the sweet voice players need. Alejandro Cervantes Signature Series is the answer, these guitars are amazing. They offer a beautiful rich voice and the Cocobolo and Spruce body is powerful. This guitar can easily handle the classical repertoire, Brazilian, Jazz and more. No need to sacrifice tone for comfort, this one gives you everything." - Paul Heumiller
""This guitar fits comfortably into hands that are used to steel string guitars, but it should also satisfy the classical guitarists. The tone is complete and works beautifully for many genres of music."" - Al Petteway
