Classical guitarists looking for the warmth and immediacy of a cedar-and-rosewood build will find a traditionally made instrument in the JOM CLE Luthier Series Mexican Rosewood Classical Guitar. Handcrafted in Paracho, Mexico, by a select circle of master luthiers, this right-handed nylon-string guitar pairs a solid Canadian red cedar top with bookmatched solid Mexican rosewood back and sides. Individually calibrated Torres-inspired fan bracing and Spanish heel construction form a responsive all-solid-wood foundation, while a cocobolo rosewood fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and Gaboon ebony tuning-machine details complete the build. Each instrument is hand-numbered and signed by its final inspector, then supplied in a deluxe moisture-resistant hardshell archtop case.

Solid Cedar and Mexican Rosewood Tonewoods

The solid Canadian red cedar top and bookmatched solid Mexican rosewood back and sides establish the CLE’s all-solid-wood construction. Cedar offers depth, clarity and natural projection, while the Mexican rosewood body gives the guitar a distinct visual character. Wood binding frames the body, and the high-gloss polish finish highlights the natural grain of the tonewoods. Together, these materials create a carefully selected foundation for classical players who value a responsive nylon-string guitar with traditional construction at its core.

Spanish Heel Construction With Calibrated Fan Bracing

A traditional Spanish heel joins the neck and body as a single resonant structure, an approach long associated with classical guitar construction. Inside, spruce fan bracing developed from the traditional Torres design is individually calibrated for each instrument. This process accounts for the natural differences between wood sets, allowing the top to move freely while maintaining balance across the register. The result is a handbuilt guitar shaped around the specific materials used in its construction rather than a uniform production formula.

Spanish Cedar Neck With Traditional Classical Dimensions

The Spanish cedar neck has a 25.6" scale length and 2.059" nut width, providing the familiar dimensions many nylon-string players expect. A 12-fret neck-to-body layout and 19 total frets maintain a traditional classical format, while the truss rod offers an added point of adjustment. The JOM LS “Shell” headplate, made with Mexican rosewood, adds a distinctive Luthier Series detail. This neck design supports precise fretting, chord movement and fingerstyle articulation across a range of classical repertoire.

Cocobolo Rosewood Appointments and Bone Details

Cocobolo rosewood is used for both the fingerboard and bridge, creating a cohesive material theme across the guitar’s primary playing surfaces. The bridge features a bone inlay, while the bone nut and saddle provide the string contact points. JOM Luthier Series tuning machines with Gaboon ebony details complete the hardware package. These appointments reinforce the instrument’s traditional construction and give the CLE a restrained, handcrafted presentation that complements its cedar-and-rosewood tonal foundation.

Traditional Details for the Dedicated Classical Player

D’Addario EJ46 nylon strings come installed, and the acoustic-only design keeps the focus on the guitar’s natural voice. The included deluxe moisture-resistant hardshell archtop case features an integrated thermometer and hygrometer for storage and travel, along with a white cotton handling glove, truss rod adjustment hex key and extra Gaboon ebony tuning knob. The JOM CLE Luthier Series Mexican Rosewood Classical Guitar is a hand-numbered, traditionally built instrument for players seeking refined Paracho craftsmanship and an expressive classical voice.
