Manufactured to Valencia's exacting standards, in thier factory in Indonesia, the Series 200 starts with a sitka spruce top, nato body and jabon neck for balanced tone. A distinctive, see-through satin finish reveals the inherent beauty of our tonewoods. An ebonized mahogany fingerboard and mahogany bridge completes the elegant look. The Series 200 range has been expanded by the introduction of our newly developed “Hybrid”, Thin Neck models. The Hybrid is especially designed to accommodate the smaller hands of some beginner players. The full size VC204H features a 45mm neck width (at nut) with 650mm (25 5/8”) scale length on a standard size body, while the VC203H has a 42mm nut with 580mm (22 7/8”) scale length on a 3/4 size body. For superior stability and strength, the necks of these models feature two central, reinforcing strips of teak installed along the entire neck length. All Series 200 models feature an arched back for increased tonal response and projection, a unique attribute amongst guitars in this price range and particularly within all 3/4 size guitars on the market.
