Types of guitars

Basically, there are 3 types of guitars: The steel string guitar, the electric guitar and the classical guitar. For kids it is important that they learn the basics quick and effortless, without hurting their fingers too much. That is why it is good to start with a classical guitar. Classical guitars have nylon strings, unlike the other 2 types. Nylon strings are softer and thinner so they easier on the hands. Therefore it is good to check the string type when you purchase their first guitar. Despite what the name implies, the classical guitar is not only used for classical music, you can easily play pop songs on it and learn the chords doing it. If the focus will be pop/rock after learning the basics, it is best to look for a steel string guitar as a next step as most rock and pop artist do play on steel string guitars. But the best way to start is a classical junior guitar!

Artesano Estudiante XC3/4

The Artesano Estudiante is a series of high quality classical guitars aimed at the novice guitarist. Where most brands produce their entry-level guitars from the cheapest materials in order to keep the entry-level price low, Artesano does not do this. High-quality materials are used, which makes the guitars very pleasant to play and have a nice full sound. Guitar teachers are therefore flocking to this series of guitars.

Features of the Estudiante XC3/4

The Artesano Estudiante XC3/4 is a guitar with a solid cedar top. The back and sides are made of mahogany. A smaller size guitar with a solid top is only produced by a few manufacturers.

The tuners have a beautiful gold look. This, combined with the elegant transition from the body to the neck, gives the guitar a beautiful and chic appearance.

 

The history of Artesano

Artesano is a traditional guitar brand of Spanish origin. The first models under this name were released in 1986, but the story of this guitar brand starts many years earlier. Juan Orozco III was born in 1937, the son of a guitar craftsman. From an early age he learns the tricks of the trade and at a young age he is already able to build high-quality guitars. Over the years, this luthier has traveled the world with his family and built guitars in Brazil, Uruguay and later in New York. He also gained knowledge in Japan. After having their own guitar shop and producing guitars under the name Orozco, Artesano started building guitars in 1986. To this day, this is a new generation of classical guitars for all seasoned and novice guitarists.
