The Camps SN1 Electro Classical guitar is designed for players seeking a lightweight instrument with advanced electronics for balanced sound amplification.
Introduction to Camps SN1 Electro Classical Guitar
The Camps SN1 Electro Classical guitar is the culmination of extensive research by Camps Guitars to blend traditional guitar craftsmanship with modern electronics. Since 1977, the luthiers at Camps Guitars have honed their skills to create this model, which features an exclusive amplification system. Each of the six strings is supported by an independent saddle, ensuring the balance and clarity of sound when amplified.
Materials and Construction
The top of the Camps SN1 guitar is made of solid cedar or spruce, materials known for their resonant qualities that contribute to a warm and powerful acoustic output. The back and sides are constructed from Sapelly, a wood that complements the top in producing a balanced tone. The neck is crafted from cedar, which is lightweight and contributes to the overall comfort of the instrument. The fingerboard is made of Indian laurel, a dense wood that provides smooth playability and durability.
The bridge is constructed from rosewood, a hardwood that is commonly used in guitar making for its ability to transfer string vibrations effectively to the guitar body. The matte varnish finish not only protects the wood but also allows the natural tone to resonate more freely compared to a gloss finish. The absence of a truss rod is typical for classical guitars, which are built with a fixed neck angle and rely on the inherent stability of the woods and construction methods used.
Electronics and Amplification
The Camps SN1 is equipped with the Fishman Classic III electronics system, which is specifically tailored for nylon-string guitars. This system is known for its ability to capture the guitar's natural acoustic sound and reproduce it faithfully when amplified. The individual saddles for each string ensure that the guitar's output is evenly balanced across all frequencies.
Additional Features
The nut width of 52 mm and the distance between the 1st and 6th string of 58 mm are standard for classical guitars, providing ample spacing for fingerstyle playing. The scale length of 650 mm is also typical, offering a balance between comfortable hand stretch and sound projection. The body depth of 98 mm at both the heel and bottom contributes to the guitar's resonance and volume.
