The Valencia VC564CE is a 4/4 cutaway classical guitar built around a tonewood pairing–Sitka Spruce top with Walnut back and sides–that prioritises low-end richness and sustain. Valencia's 560 Series sits at a price point where construction quality becomes noticeably tangible: fully bound back and sides, Amara Ebony fretboard and bridge, Mahogany neck, and gold-plated tuning hardware all signal instruments designed for years of reliable performance. The high-gloss natural finish showcases the wood selection without artifice.
The cutaway body suits fingerstyle players seeking easier access to upper frets, whilst the built-in Valencia 3-Band EQ preamp and chromatic tuner eliminate the need for external amplification or tuning devices. A 650 mm scale (25 5/8") and 52 mm nut width maintain classical proportions; the Graph Tech NuBone XB compensated saddle (sourced from Canada) shapes intonation across the fingerboard. Nineteen nickel frets, Amara Ebony heel end, and tasteful ABS binding complete a coherent package that balances tradition with practical amplified performance.
