The Camps MC6 is a classical guitar with a cutaway body, designed for performers seeking a blend of comfort and traditional classical guitar sound quality at a reasonable price point.
Introduction to the Camps MC6 Classical Guitar
The Camps MC6 Classical Guitar features a cutaway body design. This design provides easier access to the upper frets, which is beneficial for complex playing techniques. The presence of a cutaway, however, does not compromise the instrument's sound quality. The guitar's top is made from solid cedar, a material known for its warm sound and quick response to touch. The back and sides are crafted from Indian rosewood, a dense hardwood that contributes to the guitar's rich and resonant tones.
The fingerboard of the Camps MC6 is made from ebony, a dense wood that is highly durable and provides a smooth playing surface. The neck is constructed from cedar and includes an adjustable tension rod, which serves to maintain neck stability and allows for a narrower, more ergonomic design. The action of the strings is carefully calibrated to facilitate effortless playability.
Sound Quality and Playability
The Camps MC6 produces a balanced sound with deep basses and solid trebles. The combination of a solid cedar top and rosewood back and sides results in a polished tone that is both velvety and powerful. The gloss finish not only enhances the guitar's appearance but also affects the sound by allowing the wood to vibrate more freely, contributing to the instrument's overall tonal quality.
Additional Features and Accessories
The guitar includes a gig bag, providing protection and convenience for transporting the instrument. Although the Camps MC6 does not feature a bone saddle or nut, which are often sought after for their contribution to tone and sustain, the materials used are selected to ensure a quality sound. The absence of a pick guard is typical for classical guitars, as it allows the top to resonate without obstruction.
