Beautiful Crossover Classical from D'Angelico
For guitarists at any level wanting to explore the unique feel, response, and tone of a classical guitar, D'Angelico offers the Premier Malta. This crossover classical blends the features and design of a classical with streamlined updates that place it in the wheelhouse of a non-classical. The Malta features a solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides for a wonderful blend of the crisp, treble-heavy tone of the cedar with the lower range of the mahogany. A smooth mahogany neck with pau ferro fingerboard also offers stellar playability and response, making chording and lead playing more comfortable.

Modern touches
Some of the crossover features on the Malta include a deep cutaway, a 48mm nut width, and a slim neck profile. Taken together, these features offer a more modern acoustic feel, while still delivering a classical nylon-stringed sound and playability. And because the Malta features X-scalloped bracing, the tone and resonance of this fine instrument are supported and enhanced beautifully.
Classical features
The Malta also features some extra touches that give it a classic, classical-guitar aesthetic. These include a gorgeous tortoise binding, Rotomatic open-gear tuners with tortoise buttons, and beautiful acrylic diamond inlays along the pau ferro fingerboard. Classical guitarists along with modern guitarists here at Sweetwater have both fallen for this crossover delight!
