Classical Guitar APC 1S 3/4 Simples Nylon Cadete

The APC 1S Simple Nylon Cadet is a classical guitar designed for young guitarists and students. Made in Portugal.

If you're looking for a quality instrument that offers comfort and a balanced sound from the very first chords, this is your first guitar. A 3/4 size, also known as a cadet, the APC 1S Simple is easily adapted to budding players or those who need a practical guitar for practice and carrying, without compromising sound projection and tonal clarity.

Constructed with a solid spruce top, this guitar stands out for its bright and defined sound response. Spruce, traditionally used in the construction of practice and concert guitars, ensures a clear and articulate tone, ideal for technical exercises and for playing pieces that require clarity between high and low strings.

The laminated mahogany back and sides give the sound greater warmth and balance, creating a natural contrast with the tonal lightness of the top. This combination makes the APC 1S a versatile instrument, suitable for both daily practice and school performances or small recitals.

The mahogany neck provides stability and comfort, allowing students' hands to adapt naturally to the demands of learning. The African blackwood fingerboard adds durability and a smooth playing surface, essential for those who spend many hours practicing. The gloss finish enhances the wood grain and gives the instrument a careful and attractive appearance, reflecting APC's commitment to creating reliable and aesthetically harmonious guitars.

APC is a leader in the construction of Portuguese and classical string instruments. Founded in 1976 by António Pinto Carvalho, heir to a tradition of luthiers that began in Porto over a century ago, the brand has grown to become the largest national company in the sector. Currently, it brings together around 50 artisans who craft each instrument combining traditional techniques with the most advanced technology, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and authenticity in each piece.

The APC 1S Simples Nylon Cadete is a guitar designed to inspire confidence in learners, but also to satisfy musicians who desire a reliable instrument, compact in size, and expressive in sound. Made in Portugal, it combines tradition and modernity, making it an excellent choice for taking your first steps in classical guitar or for accompanying musical moments anywhere.
