Katoh Madrid SEQ All Solid Classical Guitar Spruce Top with Pickup

The Katoh Madrid SEQ All Solid Classical Guitar is a premium performance instrument inspired by the legendary Madrid School of classical guitar building. Developed from research into the historic Spanish tradition by renowned luthier Kenny Hill, the Madrid SEQ delivers the rich bass response, sparkling highs, and dynamic sensitivity associated with the golden age of Spanish classical guitars.

Built with an all-solid tonewood construction, the guitar features a solid European spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, producing exceptional warmth, projection, and tonal complexity. Traditional Spanish fan bracing and a Spanish neck joint further enhance resonance and sustain, giving the Madrid SEQ a responsive and expressive character suited to advanced players and professional performance.

The cedar neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth and refined playing experience, while premium appointments including flame maple binding, bone nut and saddle, and natural wood mosaic rosette showcase the guitar’s elegant craftsmanship.

Equipped with a Fishman pickup system, the Madrid SEQ is equally capable on stage or in the studio, offering reliable amplified performance while preserving the guitar’s natural classical voice.
