The MCG-50C is very popular among guitar teachers and is one of Katoh’s most popular student guitars.
Accessible and beautiful, it is still within reach of a budget conscious buyer.
Rosewood back and sides have long been favoured by guitar makers around the world.
The tonewood’s stunning appearance and tonal range have seen it grace guitars around the world since the late 1800’s.
The solid spruce top provides bell-like tones and will improve with age (and playing). Like all Katoh guitars the MCG-50 is very playable and a guitar that will help foster great technique.
