The Admira A15 guitar is a classical guitar that has been handcrafted in Spain using traditional artisanship methods of yesteryear. Select cedar and rosewood have been carefully chosen by the master luthiers at Admira for this model: the combination of these two top-quality woods produces a much fuller tone. In the A15, Admira has managed to produce a model that combines an exceptionally good sound with great comfort and playability. The Admira A15 has been made with a  'Spanish heel'.  This assembly system guarantees high stability, increased volume and greater sustain. It is a considerably more time-consuming method of construction than simpler techniques, such as gluing, but the sonic benefits are second to none. The Admira A15 guitar features a solid cedar top, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with ebony reinforcement strip, ebony fingerboard, lux golden tuners, Savarez AJ500 strings and gloss finish. A bargain at the price. Gig bag included.

         

The Admira A6 EF is handcrafted in Spain from select woods, and is one of the most reasonably-priced models on sale for an instrument of this quality. Admira has not sacrificed sound or comfort to create an affordable instrument for students to enjoy. The great playability of the Admira A6 EF proves an inspiration to practise, as is the superb tone, clarity and expression of this model. Admira A6 EF has also been made with a 'Spanish heel'.  This system, which is a far more complex method than the glued neck, offers significant sonic advantages, such as an increased volume, greater sustain and higher stability. The Admira A6 EF guitar features a solid cedar top, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, gold-plated tuners, Savarez strings and lux high-gloss finish. Fishman Clásica III electrification system installed. Gigbag included.
