Description

MCG-40CEQL
The MCG-40 has been described as the perfect beginner’s guitar. The CEQ model comes complete with soft cutaway and Fishman electronics. Like the rest of the MCG-40 range, it has a solid cedar soundboard with laminated mahogany back and sides. A wonderfully comfortable and playable mahogany neck is complemented by a rosewood fingerboard.
The combination of cedar and mahogany is a popular combination with luthiers. The warm tones with sweet trebles, great mids and bass that’s not too overpowering really delivers.
The MCG-40 is popular among Katoh guitars. It is the model with the greatest number of options with varying soundboards, scale lengths, left hand and EQ cutaway models available.
This left-hand cutaway EQ model is just one more example of Katoh’s desire to accommodate the needs of classical guitar enthusiasts.
