This is the entry model in the Classico series.
This model has a maple body next to the No.26 Maple, and produces a soft, sustained sound. The Classico series has a strong impression of a large body, but this model is a regular size.
This model is recommended for those who like the soft, solid, and expansive sound that is unique to maple.
▼About painting
This model is available in the following paint finishes:
[Lacquer coating]
This is a type of paint that is often used on mandolins, and Caracé has also traditionally used it. It offers better protection than shellac paint, and as it dries over time, the sound matures.
[Shellac paint]
It is possible to apply a thin hand-painted finish, which allows the wood to vibrate without interfering with the sound, and the instrument will resonate well even when new. However, the paint is very delicate, so care must be taken to maintain it.
Depending on the model, the entire surface may be shellac or only the top may be shellac or other lacquer.
☆Differences from No.15
[wood]
The body material has been changed from Palisander to maple, resulting in a softer and more expansive sound. Other materials have also been upgraded to higher quality wood.
[Pickguard/Soundhole]
The shell decoration has been removed and the design has been simplified, and the sound hole shape has been changed to an oval, common to the Classico series.
