Description
KATOH MM4S Classical Guitar
The Katoh MM4S is a traditional full-size classical guitar built around a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back, giving it a clear, balanced response with plenty of warmth and projection. With a 650mm scale, 52mm nut and satin finish, it is designed to feel familiar and comfortable for classical players while offering a more refined timber specification than an entry-level instrument.
The solid spruce top brings clarity and articulation, while the mahogany back and sides add warmth and focus. It is a versatile combination that works well for classical repertoire, fingerstyle playing, study and players wanting a nylon-string guitar with a strong acoustic voice.
Solid Spruce Top
The solid spruce soundboard gives the MM4S a responsive and articulate character, with good note separation and dynamic range. Spruce also tends to open up with playing over time, making it a strong choice for players who want an instrument that develops with use.
Mahogany Back, Sides & Neck
A solid mahogany back is paired with laminated mahogany sides and a mahogany neck. This combination adds warmth, midrange focus and a smooth tonal balance to complement the spruce top.
Traditional Classical Feel
The 650mm scale length and 52mm nut width give the MM4S the familiar spacing and tension expected from a full-size classical guitar. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge keep the feel traditional and provide a durable playing surface.
Bone Nut & Saddle
A real bone nut and saddle help with clean energy transfer from the strings into the guitar, supporting strong definition, sustain and tuning stability.
