Valencia VC104TCE 4/4 Black Klassieke gitaar met elektronica

Thin-Body Classical Guitar with Built-In Electronics

The Valencia VC104TCE Thin Body Black redefines expectations for a beginner classical guitar, pairing a slim 80 mm body with a full-size 650 mm scale and onboard electronics. Its layered linden top, back, and sides provide warm projection whether playing unplugged at home or connected to a PA. Added features such as a Venetian cutaway and dual-action truss rod bring performance benefits uncommon in this class.

What Sets This Classical-Electric Apart

Few guitars at this price combine an 80 mm thin-body profile with a full Valencia 3-band EQ preamp and LCD chromatic tuner. The GraphTech NuBone XB bridge saddle—a detail usually found on more expensive instruments—delivers precise intonation and clear harmonics via the piezo pickup.

Linden Body Construction and Thin-Body Comfort

Reducing the body depth to 80 mm changes the way the instrument rests against your torso, resulting in less arm reach, a lighter feel, and easier access for smaller players, all while retaining a full-size scale.

• Top Material: Layered linden — laminated construction resists humidity fluctuations and keeps the instrument stable all year
• Back and Sides: Layered linden — delivers a warm, balanced tonal palette with controlled overtones
• With an 80 mm body depth, this guitar is slimmer than standard classical bodies, meaning reduced fatigue during extended play.

Nato Neck and Ebonized Maple Fretboard

A nato neck brings lasting structural stability and a smooth playing surface, while the ebonized maple fingerboard ensures a dense, sleek feel supporting quick fingerwork. The dual-action truss rod gives you precise neck relief adjustments as it ages.

• Scale Length: 650 mm — standard full-size classical scale for ideal string tension and intonation
• Nut Width: 52 mm — classical-standard spacing allows fingers plenty of room for clear chord shapes
• Frets: 19 nickel frets — smooth, durable fretwire supports comfortable left-hand movement

Onboard Preamp with Chromatic Tuner

The under-saddle piezo pickup translates string vibration directly. Rotary controls for volume, bass, middle, and treble are present on the Valencia 3-band EQ preamp—also included are a notch filter for problematic frequencies and a phase switch for feedback control.

• Preamp: Valencia 3-band EQ with LCD chromatic tuner — shape your amplified sound and tune silently between songs
• Piezo under-saddle pickups let you capture authentic nylon-string tone without external microphones.
• Power: 9V battery with low-battery LED indicator — provides reliable stage operation and early warning before signal loss

Beginner and Contemporary Classical Players

Students picking up a nylon-string guitar for the first time will value the slim body and low action straight out of the box. Tuning on the fly is simplified by the onboard tuner, and the cutaway facilitates higher position playing from the start. The VC104TCE is well-suited for both quiet home practice and amplified performances. Teachers recommending student instruments will appreciate the durability of the layered linden body and the gloss black finish that gives a modern, stage-ready look.
