Caraya 551BCEQBS Thin-Body Classical Guitar – Sunburst

The Caraya C551BCEQBS is a thin-body classical cutaway built for comfort and versatility. A spruce top with white 5-ply binding sits over mahogany back and sides, finished in a striking sunburst gloss that gives it a classic, vintage-inspired look.

The mahogany neck features a comfortable D-profile, with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The 51mm nut width makes it an easy transition for steel-string players, while the 650mm scale length and 18 frets deliver a familiar, balanced feel.

Electronics are handled by the Mings MG-30 system, featuring a 3-band EQ and built-in digital tuner – practical, reliable, and stage-ready. Vintage-style tuners with antique white keys complete the look, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod adds long-term playability.

Weighing approximately 1.8kg, it's light enough for extended playing sessions without sacrificing tone or projection.
