The Camps SP6FE Electro Acoustic Flamenco Negra guitar is designed for advanced students and professional musicians seeking a high-quality, versatile instrument with an authentic flamenco sound.
Introduction to Camps SP6FE Flamenco Negra Guitar
The Camps SP6FE model is an electro-acoustic guitar that caters to performers and concert players. Handcrafted in Girona, Spain, this instrument is a product of meticulous selection of soundboards and traditional luthier techniques. The guitar is known for its flamenco sound, characterized by its clarity and resonance.
The construction of the SP6FE involves solid Indian rosewood for the back and sides, which contributes to the guitar's projection and balanced sound. The choice of wood and the luthier's expertise in shaping the guitar body are crucial for achieving the desired tonal qualities.
Design and Playability
The neck of the SP6FE is designed with ergonomics in mind, providing comfort and ease of play. The flamenco action is set up to deliver the characteristic sizzle associated with flamenco music. An adjustable truss rod is incorporated within the neck to address potential issues with neck bowing.
For amplification, the guitar uses a Fishman Pro-Blend system with six independent saddles, ensuring each string is perfectly balanced when amplified. This feature is particularly important for live performances where sound clarity and balance are paramount.
Materials and Craftsmanship
The top of the SP6FE can be made of either solid cedar or spruce, depending on the player's preference for tonal characteristics. Cedar typically offers a warmer sound, while spruce provides a brighter tone. The fingerboard is made from ebony, a dense wood that allows for smooth fingering and durability.
The bridge is crafted from rosewood, complementing the back and sides, and contributing to the overall tonal harmony of the instrument. The use of bone for the saddle is a traditional choice that enhances the vibration transfer from the strings to the body of the guitar, improving sound quality.
Specifications and Features
Technical specifications of the Camps SP6FE Flamenco Negra guitar include a nut width of 52 mm and a distance between the 1st and 6th strings of 58 mm, providing a comfortable string spacing for the player. The scale length is 650 mm, which is standard for classical and flamenco guitars, offering a balance between playability and sound projection.
The body depth is consistent at 98 mm from heel to bottom, which affects the resonance and volume of the guitar. A gloss finish is applied to protect the wood and enhance the guitar's aesthetic appeal. The inclusion of a pick guard, truss rod, and electronics like the Fishman Pro-Blend system rounds out the features of this versatile instrument.
