This crossover version is a hybrid nylon string guitar.

It has the characteristics of a traditional classical guitar, but with specific features that evoke the electric or even folk worlds (the neck is narrower at the nut and the body is more compact).
Its rich and warm acoustic properties, combined with its great polyphonic clarity, allow a dynamic musical play, all in nuances.
This J. Castelluccia guitar, electro-acoustic, offers the possibility to play in various styles, to approach the classical register, jazz, bossa nova and many others…

The principle of the lattice bracing was invented in the early 80’s by the Australian luthier Greg Smallman. His goal was to make the soundboard as thin as possible, to make it vibrate more freely.
At the time, traditional bracing could not support such a thin top, so Smallman decided to develop a new bracing system, made of wood reinforced with carbon rods.
Because the vibrations of the top are lost in the sides and back of the guitar, he decided to make these two components heavier, so that they are almost inert. By doing so, the soundboard reacts like a drumhead and projects a powerful sound.
However, this concept, which favors projection and power, has materialized at the expense of the instrument’s main characteristics, such as sound identity, balance and musicality. In the end, the need to add modifications was inevitable.

As I regularly address a clientele whose leitmotiv is to play the guitar to make music (and not the opposite), I decided to use this lattice bracing principle anyway. And to make it evolve, in order to bring all the technical characteristics, which must imperatively have a guitar of reputation.
From this will was born the CRW12, equipped with a specific lattice system, combined with specially studied components, so that the lacks of the Australian prototype are corrected.

The CRW12 Lattice is the result of further research, allowing the benefits of the lattice system in terms of power and projection, while preserving the DNA of the traditional classical guitar: its quality of tone, balance and musicality.

The Fishman Pro Blend system integrates two types of sources: a piezo sensor under the saddle and an overhead pickup positioned in the body, producing a very wide range of sounds.

  Un accessoire indispensable afin de protéger votre guitare en cas d'avarie hygrométrique. Le Oasis OH-1 est parfait pour nos régions, où l'humidité ne descend pas en dessous de 25%, ce qui est déjà dangereux pour n'importe quel instrument. En hiver, il est impératif de protéger vos instruments acoustiques, en bois, cela va de soi. Le Oasis ne coule pas, ne laisse pas échapper de goutes d'eau et est le seul système où vous n'avez aucun risque d'endommager votre instrument. Le Humigel contenu par le Oasis absorbe jusqu'à 500 fois son poids en eau, tient une année ou davantage selon l'utilisation, et se remplace au besoin par le Humigel Kit.   Hyper pratique et absolument nécessaire de l'automne au début du printemps si l'humidité relative de vos pièces baisse en dessous de 35-38%... Une humidité parfaite devrait varier entre 45% et 55%. Et donc, super important, le OH-1 se place entre les cordes de l'instrument, qui doit être rangé dans son coffre ou sa housse pour que l'humidité dispensée par le OH-1 fasse correctement effet.
