Lucero LC150S Natural Spruce/Sapele Classical Guitar

With the valued help of Kathy's Mother we were able to purchased a Lucero 150S classical guitar while it was on sale.  I posted how well it fit kathy and myself in the last post.  Now we have the two guitars to use practice on togather.  I see Husband and Wife duets in the future.  Much practice will be needed first for sure but it will be a lot of fun learning the Guitar with Kathy.

Since its back and side are Sapele, I had to look it up to see what Sapele wood is and it is an African wood very interchangeable with Mahogany. 

We saw a Classical guitar we liked.

    Kathy and I looked at a few guitars at The Guitar Center yesterday.  We decided that 3/4 scale is just to small and we do not like the sound either.

    However we did look at a couple Lucero Classic guitars and we REALLY like the slightly smaller body that fits Kathy better but at the same time I get to keep the full sized frets I like. We both really liked the sound. Since as a classical guitar it makes use of nylon strings it will be easier on on us as we begin to play. This may be the style of guitar that fits our needs.

   I had to look up Sapele to see what kind of wood it is. It is from Africa and has almost the same as far as audio quality and has very nice stripes in the grain.

The Lucero Classical Guitar

   Best-in-class value and built to last, Lucero instruments are carefully crafted to provide years of rich, toneful sound and at an attractive price. Lucero creates beautiful classical guitars for every type of player, from beginners embarking on their musical journey to steel-string players looking to expand their skills (and their tool box) with the authentic sounds of a nylon-string guitar. Using superior tonewoods (like spruce, cedar, rosewood and mahogany) as well as manufacturing techniques seen in instruments costing much more, Lucero is priced for budget-conscious players who still demand a great-looking, highly playable classical guitar. Students especially will appreciate the low action that makes for better overall playability.
