This 640mm scale version of the Fonzo is currently in stock. We only have one available.
For players seeking a serious classical guitar at a highly accessible price point, the Fonzo guitars continue to impress us. Over the past year I’ve spent considerable time with my own Fonzo EJ-13, and the experience has been so positive that I ultimately became the North American distributor for these instruments.
What makes these guitars particularly compelling is the combination of thoughtful modern design features with consistent, reliable craftsmanship. They represent a substantial step up from most factory-produced instruments, offering a level of responsiveness, comfort, and tonal maturity that many advancing players will find inspiring.

Sound & Playability
One of the most impressive aspects of these guitars is how immediately comfortable and responsive they feel. The raised fingerboard, a feature typically reserved for far more expensive instruments, makes upper-fret playing remarkably easy and natural.
Tonally, the lattice-braced design produces a lively and responsive sound with excellent projection and dynamic range. The guitar responds beautifully to both a light touch and more assertive playing, making it versatile for a wide range of repertoire and playing styles.
Final Thoughts
Fonzo guitars have quickly developed a strong reputation for their consistency and value. Each instrument is carefully inspected and set up before shipping, ensuring excellent playability straight out of the case.
For players seeking a modern, responsive classical guitar with professional features at a very approachable price point, these instruments represent an exceptional option.
