About the product
The Guitarras Esteve workshop
Esteve Guitars is a reference in Spanish lutherie, with a family tradition that has been consolidated in Valencia since the first half of the 20th century. The Adalid model is born from direct collaboration with master luthier Manuel Adalid, whose signature appears on some of the most requested instruments in the brand’s concert catalogue. This professional classical guitar condenses more than six decades of experience in the construction of artisanal guitars made in Spain, designed for guitarists looking for an instrument of personal character and maximum response.
Technical details and construction
The Adalid model offers two top options: solid Canadian cedar or solid German spruce, both combined with cocobolo back and sides, a high-density wood that provides harmonious richness and balanced projection. The mast is made of cedar with carbon fiber and ebony reinforcement, integrating lightness, climatic stability and rigidity for a precise and comfortable action. The fingerboard is made of ebony and the guitar has a lattice-type bracing system, a high-precision fretwork that favors an immediate response, great dynamics and a lot of sustain. The entire body is solid, with nitrocellulose varnish finish that resolves the harmonica with transparency and tonal depth, without covering the natural character of the wood.
Sound and character
The combination of cedar or spruce with cocobolo generates a warm, generous and very expressive sound, withopen bass, round midrange and treble brightbut without hardness. The lattice structure enhances resonance and volumetric projection, allowing the instrument to open easily and respond to the most subtle nuances, ideal for both home studio and larger spaces. The guitar feels sensitive under the fingers, with an immediate response and a rich harmonica that invites you to explore classical, flamenco and chamber repertoires, always maintaining a natural and very “organic” acoustic.
By choosing this Esteve professional classical guitar Adalid model, you choose a handcrafted instrument made in Spain, signed by a renowned Spanish luthier and configured to offer you an intimate and deep sound experience, even in the tranquility of your home.
