Bautista Iranzo 31 Crossover Spruce

The Bautista Iranzo 31 Crossover makes the transition to nylon feel familiar

Do you love the warm sound of a classical guitar, but would prefer not to have the feel of a wide, flat neck? The Bautista Iranzo 31 Crossover Spruce brings these two desires together. The curved rosewood fretboard and 48 mm top width make this an appealing nylon-string guitar for guitarists accustomed to a steel-string acoustic or electric guitar. At the same time, it retains its acoustic character, with a solid spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. The natural gloss finish lets the wood combination speak for itself.

The combination of spruce and rosewood lends itself to a clear attack, full bass, and overtones that beautifully color the chords. This allows you to bring a lot of nuance to your playing, from soft melodic lines to rhythmic accompaniment. The nylon strings give the notes a rounded attack, while the spruce top provides room for articulation and dynamics. For fingerstyle, jazzy voicings, or a classical piece, this crossover offers an inviting starting point. The cutaway helps when you want to continue melodies further up the neck.

The neck is made of African mahogany and has an adjustable truss rod. The scale length is 650 mm, and the curved Indian rosewood fretboard fits the crossover concept. Gotoh 1800 tuners handle the tuning, while position markers at the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and twelfth positions help with orientation. This model has no built-in pickup, so you play purely acoustically or use an external solution for amplification. A soft case is included, so you can safely take the guitar to lessons, rehearsals, or a jam session.

Are you looking for a nylon-string guitar that doesn't completely abandon your familiar playing feel? Come try this Bautista Iranzo and discover what the crossover format does for your playing.
