The Cocodrilo 10-string classical is a cross between the 10-string guitar built for Narciso Yepes by Jose Ramirez III, and Antonio de Torres’ Maple-bodied SE112. Under the hood, the guitar’s design features a fanned lattice bracing system that enhances projection, bass response, and sustain. Seven-strut fan bracing is also an option for those who prefer a more traditional sound.

Choose Yepes- or Baroque-style tuning. In Yepes tuning only the top six strings are played; the lower four are purely sympathetic and tuned C, Bb, Ab, Gb. For Baroque tuning the four lower courses are tuned A, B, C, D.
