It is a great choice for players moving across from steel-string acoustic or electric guitar who still want a proper classical voice and nylon-string response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpruce Top with Sapele Mahogany Back \u0026amp; Sides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spruce top gives the EV5 clarity and articulation, while the sapele mahogany back and sides add warmth and body. The combination keeps the guitar balanced and responsive across fingerstyle, classical repertoire and contemporary nylon-string playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRadiused Rosewood Fingerboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a traditional flat classical fingerboard, the EV5 uses a \u003cstrong\u003eradiused rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It works well for classical study, fingerstyle, songwriting, Latin styles and acoustic players looking to add a nylon-string guitar to their setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe radiused fingerboard and 48mm nut are what make the EV5 stand out.
