The Altura A5-CE is a warm, responsive classical acoustic-electric that pairs a solid cedar top with sapele back and sides in an elegant cutaway body, offering genuine tonal quality and stage-ready versatility at an accessible price point. Solid cedar delivers the warmth, fast response, and rich harmonic content that makes it such a popular choice among classical players - a top that opens up quickly and rewards expressive playing with a tonal depth and sensitivity that laminate alternatives simply cannot match. Sapele back and sides contribute a clear, focused midrange character with good projection and a natural brightness that balances the cedar's warmth into a well-rounded, pleasing classical voice. The cutaway body provides comfortable upper-fret access for melodic and solo playing, while the Fishman Presys II pickup system delivers reliable amplified performance suitable for live performance and recording. Gold-plated machine heads, bone nut and saddle, rosewood fingerboard and bridge with inlay, rosewood/maple/rosewood/maple binding, and a light gloss polyurethane finish complete a specification that reflects genuine attention to quality and aesthetics throughout. Supplied with an Altura Deluxe Padded gig bag. Ideal for intermediate classical players who perform in amplified settings, nylon-string players exploring contemporary styles, and anyone who wants a solid-top classical acoustic-electric with quality appointments and reliable electronics.
