Description
Sound & Tone
The solid Canadian cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides gives the Rubi CM/59 a warm, rounded voice with a quick response and sustain that holds up well despite the compact body, while the bone nut and saddle help transfer string energy cleanly for clear note definition. The high-tension Savarez Cantiga strings tighten the attack and add projection, keeping fingerstyle lines articulate rather than muddy across the shorter 590mm scale. It suits classical and fingerstyle repertoire, student and teaching settings, and any player who wants traditional nylon-string warmth from a smaller, easier-reaching instrument.
La Mancha Rubi CM/59 Classical Guitar
The Rubi CM/59 is a 3/4-size classical guitar engineered to capture the responsiveness and tonal clarity of a full-scale instrument in a more manageable acoustic footprint. Its compact 590mm scale length and 49mm neck width optimize recording sessions and layered arrangements, while the solid cedar top and mahogany back deliver projection and sustain that translate clearly to tape and digital. This is a serious recording instrument—recognized by the EGTA in 2019/2020—that doesn't compromise on build quality or acoustic performance in the studio environment.
Construction & Materials
Built with solid Canadian cedar on the top and mahogany back and sides, the Rubi produces warm, balanced tone with excellent sustain that sits naturally in a mix without requiring extensive EQ. The Toona kalantas neck with carbon reinforcement provides structural stability and consistent performance across humidity-variable recording conditions, while the Spanish heel neck joint and Ovangkol fingerboard contribute to durability and articulate fingerstyle capture. Bone nut and saddle ensure clear string-to-body transmission and consistent intonation across multiple takes.
Recording Characteristics & Versatility
The 3/4 format and 49mm neck width at the nut create an ergonomic platform that reduces hand fatigue during extended tracking sessions without sacrificing classical technique or tonal integrity. Pre-strung with Savarez Cantiga High Tension 510AJ strings, the guitar produces clear articulation ideal for fingerstyle recording and session work. Gold-plated machine heads with black buttons provide reliable tuning stability essential for multi-track productions and layering applications.
