A luxury instrument receives greater attention to detail, from the nail protection on the top to the placement of the frets on the neck, to the spruce inlaid binding. The decor is simple, but the Portuguese guitar APC 310CB exudes quality at first glance and at the first chord.

The Coimbra Portuguese guitar is one of the three national fado guitars - there is also the Porto Portuguese guitar and the Lisbon Portuguese guitar. It is different from the others in that it has a less rounded box than the Lisbon guitar and a longer fingerboard for the elaborate phrasing of Coimbra ballads. The tuning is a tone below the Lisbon tuning, being A - G - D - A - G - C, from the high to the lowest strings.
