Since 1972 Valencia Guitars have held a long-standing reputation for producing an exceptionally crafted classical guitar within reach of all consumers and the VC204 is no exception. Manufactured to Valencia s exacting standards in their Indonesian factory the Series 200 starts with a Sitka spruce top nato body and jabon neck for balanced tone. Its distinctive see-through satin finish reveals the inherent beauty of this tonewood pairing. An ebonized mahogany fingerboard and mahogany bridge completes the VC204 s elegant look. The Series 200 range is complemented by the introduction of their newly developed “Hybrid” Thin-Neck model. Featuring a 45 mm neck width (at nut) with 650 mm (25-5/8 in.) scale length on a standard size body the Hybrid is especially designed to accommodate the smaller hands of some beginner players. For superior stability and strength the neck of this model features two central reinforcing strips of rosewood installed longitudinally along the entire neck length.
