Katoh ES-08 Espana Series Solid Top Flamenco Classical Nylon String Acoustic Guitar

Fast Flamenco Response with Solid Spruce Projection

The Katoh ES-08 España Series Flamenco classical guitar is designed for players who want immediate attack, strong projection and the distinctive dry response associated with flamenco styles. The solid spruce soundboard provides clarity and headroom, delivering crisp articulation and fast transient response under aggressive right-hand technique. Agathis back and sides support a direct, focused tonal character, helping notes cut cleanly without excessive overtone bloom.

Internal build reinforcements contribute to powerful bass response while maintaining balance across the registers. The 650 mm scale length maintains traditional string tension, and the 52 mm nut width offers comfortable spacing for intricate fingerstyle passages. A Spanish cedar neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard provides stable feel and smooth playability. The two-way adjustable truss rod and tilting bridge allow players to fine-tune string action for lower setups suited to fast rasgueado and percussive techniques. A clear tap plate protects the top during dynamic playing.

Finished in high gloss PU for durability and visual appeal, the ES-08 delivers expressive projection without added electronics.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the ES-08 is ideal for flamenco players seeking a responsive, dry-toned instrument with strong bass presence and adjustable low action at an accessible price point.
