Please note that this is a second hand item. The guitar was originally purchased from us in late 2018 and has been very well looked after.
The handcrafted 55FCE's thin, feedback-resistant body makes this Spanish-made guitar an essential tool in the gigging musician's arsenal. The chosen guitar of the Gipsy Kings, its solid European spruce top is paired with stunning flamed maple back and sides and honey amber tinted or natural polyurethane finish.
With its Fishman Prefix ProBlend onboard electronics and thinbody design, the 55FCE is ready to combat feedback when the guitar is amplified at high volumes. Low action, little relief in the neck, and a two-way truss rod keep this guitar comfortable and easy to play. Other premium features include a Spanish cedar neck, ebony fingerboard, Indian rosewood binding and bridge, a clear flamenco-style tap plate, and Savarez Cristal Corum strings. Comes in a humidified Humicase Protege case.
