Solid Cedar & Mahogany Construction
At its heart is a mahogany body topped with solid cedar.
Cedar is a favourite amongst classical players for its warm, responsive character, while the mahogany construction helps produce a rounded, deeper tone.
Combined with nylon strings, the result is a smooth and expressive sound that's equally suited to delicate fingerstyle playing and amplified live performance.
Classical Feel with Sire Playability
Sire has given the G5C a 48mm bone nut, providing the wider string spacing associated with classical and nylon-string guitars.
The mahogany C-shaped neck is paired with a rosewood Sire Edgeless™ fingerboard, featuring rolled fretboard edges for Sire's famously comfortable playing feel.
Its 25.5" scale, 19.7" fingerboard radius and 22 vintage-style frets create an interesting combination of classical string spacing with the accessibility of a modern Sire instrument.
VividX-N Electronics
The G5C features Sire's VividX-N preamp, developed specifically for nylon-string instruments.
An under-saddle piezo pickup captures the natural response of the strings, while dedicated controls give you:
Volume • Treble • Middle • Bass • Phase
The 3-band EQ lets you tailor the amplified sound to the room, PA or amplifier, while the phase switch can help control feedback in live situations.
Designed for Live Performance
One of the biggest advantages of the G5C is its solid-body format.
For players who regularly amplify a traditional nylon-string guitar, controlling feedback at higher stage volumes can be difficult. The G5C provides the character and feel of a nylon-string instrument in a design that's much better suited to gigs, bands, worship, recording and stage use.
