Alvarez RC26 Nylon-String Classical Acoustic Guitar Natural

The Alvarez Regent Series RC26 classical acoustic guitar provides an unparalleled playing experience for beginners and developing musicians. With a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the RC26 produces a warm, balanced tone that resonates with depth and clarity. The mahogany neck has a comfortable satin finish and slim profile, making it easy to hold and play. The RC26 is equipped with premium features found on pro-level Alvarez guitars, including traditional Spanish fan bracing and a dovetail neck joint. As an affordable, high-quality classical guitar, the RC26 inspires you to keep practicing and improving your skills.

Spruce Top Projects a Rich, Nuanced Sound

The RC26's spruce top enhances tone, sustain and projection. Spruce is a premium tonewood that resonates freely, conveying the natural harmonics and overtones of nylon strings with shimmering highs and a tight bass. The spruce top, combined with a mahogany back and sides, creates a balanced acoustic voice perfect for classical technique and repertoire. You'll appreciate the RC26's ability to convey subtle dynamic changes and articulations as your playing develops.

Comfortable Neck and Nut Facilitate Fluid Playing

The RC26's mahogany neck has a satin finish and slim profile designed for smaller hands or those still developing finger strength and dexterity. The narrow nut makes it easy to press strings down, enabling you to build muscle memory and confidence. The RC26 plays with the fluidity and ease of a high-end classical guitar, allowing you to focus on technique and expression rather than struggling with the instrument. The dovetail neck joint provides rigid support for the neck, preventing warping over years of playing.

Premium Components and Bracing Enhance Tonality

Like Alvarez's professional models, the RC26 features premium components and traditional Spanish fan bracing. The bracing optimizes resonance and projection, enhancing the tonal balance of the solid spruce top. A synthetic bone nut and saddle provide a smooth playing feel and help transfer string vibration to the soundboard. Chrome die-cast tuners hold pitch accurately through long practice sessions and performances. These high-quality parts let the RC26's tone shine through, giving you an inspiring instrument to develop your skills on. The Alvarez RC26 comes with a gig bag to help you get to the studio or gig in style.
