The Salvador Cortez SCG-578 Spanish guitar (in its short 3/4 scale variant) is a classical instrument for higher study or junior level, designed under the methods of traditional luthiery. The brand stands out especially for incorporating advanced structural features—such as the double-action truss rod—that are not common in classical guitars of this size. (Technical note: In the most recent export nomenclatures of the brand, this structural series of equivalent luthiery is also marketed under the code CC-10 or CC-60 of reduced scale).

The official technical specifications of this model are as follows:

Body and Woods (Tonewoods)

Body size: 3/4 Junior (ideal for youth, adults with small hands or as a travel guitar).

Top cover: Solid Cedar. (It provides an immediate response, with a round, warm and mature sound from day one, unlike spruce that requires years of playing to open).

Sides and back: Sapele (Sapelli).

Body finish: Natural Gloss.

Rosette: Traditional mosaic inlaid around the mouth.

Neck and Specific Fit

Neck: Ergonomic and comfortable wood.

Regulation core: Integrated double-action adjustable tensioner (Truss Rod). (An extremely unusual and valuable specification in Spanish guitars that allows the curvature of the neck to be corrected due to changes in humidity or string tension).

Scale length: 581mm (exact 3/4 ratio standard).

Nut width: 48 mm. (Slightly narrower than the 52 mm of a traditional 4/4, facilitating left-hand ergonomics).

Neck width at the 12th fret: 58 mm.

Components and Strings

Fingerboard and Bridge: Rosewood or dense composite selected according to exotic wood import regulations.

Nut and Saddle: High-density synthetic bone for better transmission of the vibration of the solid top.

Tuners: Classic nickel-plated/gold-plated tuners with engraved knobs.

Factory installed strings: Savarez medium tension.
