Kremona is a brand that truly deserves to be discovered by guitarists looking for something different from traditional Spanish production. Founded in 1924 in Kazanlak, Bulgaria, Kremona now has more than a century of experience in the manufacture of stringed instruments. The brand continues a genuine tradition of European luthiery: its guitars are built in its Bulgarian workshop, without outsourcing production, with final inspection and setup carried out by specialists.

The Rondo R65CW is a beautiful example of this expertise. This electro-acoustic classical guitar with a cutaway belongs to the Performer Series, a range designed to offer musicians genuine European craftsmanship while remaining perfectly suited to stage use. Kremona combines a solid European spruce top with Bulgarian walnut back and sides, a particularly interesting combination that is quite different from what is usually found on classical guitars in this category. The brand itself describes the solid spruce as bringing warmth and sensitivity, while Bulgarian walnut adds projection along with a woody, dynamic tonal character.

It is precisely this choice of walnut that gives the Rondo such an appealing personality. While many classical guitars almost automatically rely on rosewood, Kremona has chosen a less conventional tonewood here, capable of delivering a very balanced sound with excellent definition and particularly impressive projection. The solid spruce top, meanwhile, provides a fast and expressive response with beautiful harmonic richness. The result is a guitar that combines warmth, precision and excellent dynamics, making it equally enjoyable for accompaniment and solo playing.

The quality of construction is equally impressive. The African mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, wooden rosette and gold-plated Van Gent tuners all demonstrate genuine attention to detail. This reflects Kremona’s philosophy: prioritising quality materials and the actual craftsmanship of the instrument rather than relying on excessive cosmetic features. The brand also explains that its necks are hand-fitted, the bracing is worked and adjusted by ear, and every instrument receives a final setup from experienced specialists.

The electronics are also perfectly suited to the R65CW’s purpose. Its Fishman Clásica III system, combined with a Sonicore under-saddle pickup, makes the transition from acoustic playing to the stage extremely easy. The three-band EQ, volume control, phase switch and built-in tuner allow you to quickly achieve a practical and reliable amplified sound in virtually any situation. Kremona also uses several Fishman systems throughout its Performer Series in order to ensure that the amplified sound quality lives up to the standard of the acoustic craftsmanship.

The Rondo R65CW is therefore an excellent surprise and a guitar we can recommend without hesitation. It offers a rich and expressive voice, beautiful build quality, effective Fishman electronics and a cutaway that adds welcome versatility. Above all, it delivers a level of construction and material selection that makes it an extremely compelling alternative to Spanish guitars in the same price range.
