Easy to Use
The PRO-1 Classic is a classical style acoustic guitar with a Select Cedar top. Cedar is one of the "tonewoods" preferred by classical guitar luthiers for its "sweet" and individual sound. The PRO-1s Custom PRO-Prietary Bracing allows the natural tone of the Select Cedar top to ring out with clear highs and balanced lows so a player can easily hear their progress as they develop their guitar vocabulary with chords and runs.
The PRO-1 Classic uses Mahogany for the back, sides, and neck. Mahogany is also a favored tonewood for classical guitars and is a perfect compliment to the Select Cedar top, helping to acoustically amplify the PRO-1 Classics incredible tone and also provide the guitar with a stable foundation in any environment. The beauty of both Cedar and Mahogany gives the PRO-1 Classic a sophisticated profile. Plus, the PRO-1 Classic has a reduced body depth which makes it easy to hold for long hours of playing.
Hardware
The PRO-Classic has an EZ-Profile D Shape neck with a 1.75 nut width, slightly narrower compared to traditional classical guitars. The narrower spacing makes it easier to reach all the strings when learning chords.
Another innovation the PRO-1 Classic offers is a shorter scale, which makes learning chords faster. PRO-Ease Lubricant makes the neck feel smooth and worn in on your fingers, and JumboPRO frets make it easy to hold down Epiphones custom Light Gauge Classical strings.
A guitar that plays this easy has to be able to get in tune and stay in tune fast. The PRO-1 Classic features Epiphone Deluxe tuners, which have 16:1 ratio tuning gears that help make finding the right pitch quick and intuitive. Ordinary classical guitar tuners have only a 14:1 ratio, which makes fine tuning difficult, as the string never quite settles in the right place. But tuning is easy with the PRO-1 Classic because the higher 16:1 gear ratio lets you adjust your tuning with greater precision so its easier to find the right pitch and stay there.
