Among the regular models, this is the only Palisander body in the Classico series.
The clear, straightforward tone of the Palisander is now available in the Classico series.
The body is designed to be deeper than the No. series, resulting in a deeper, richer sound. Like the No.16bis, the body is designed without a skirt.
▼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.16bis
[Pickguard/Soundhole]
All shell decorations have been removed for a simple design. The pickguard and sound hole shape are also based on the Classico series design.
