Bromo BEN2C Natural Speciel akustisk-elektrisk guitar

Bromo BEN2C Natural — Hybrid Electro-Classical Guitar for the Stage

The Bromo BEN2C Natural is a hybrid electro-classical guitar that fuses traditional nylon-string tone with the comfort of an electric. Built around a chambered mahogany body and a solid spruce top with 5A flamed okoume veneer, it weighs only 2.2 kg. This instrument suits nylon-string players who want feedback resistance and amplified tone without sacrificing classical feel.

What Makes the Fusion Craft Series Different

What separates the BEN2C from other hybrid classicals is the patented BZP2 dual pickup system, pairing an under-saddle piezo with a 3-head under-bridge transducer. A sculpted "ToneFlow" bracing pattern, the indented Comfy Nut, and a 400 mm radius fingerboard further distinguish this instrument from traditional flat-board classicals.

Body Construction and Tonewoods — Spruce Top, Chambered Mahogany

Body construction is what gives this hybrid its acoustic-electric character, balancing projection with feedback control.

• Top: Solid spruce with 5A flamed okoume veneer — bright headroom paired with the visual warmth of figured okoume
• Body Material: Chambered mahogany — keeps weight at 2.2 kg and reduces stage feedback
• Bracing: Patented "ToneFlow" bracing — sculpted pattern that broadens the tonal spectrum
• Body Thickness: 42 mm ultra-thin profile with belly contour and radiused edges for seated comfort

Neck Profile and Playability — Slim C-Shape, Rounded Fingerboard

Neck geometry is built to feel familiar to electric players while staying comfortable for classical technique.

• Neck Material: Mahogany with C-profile — slim 48 mm at the 0 fret, narrower than most classicals
• Fingerboard: Amara ebony with 400 mm radius — rounded for easier chording than flat classical boards
• Nut: Bone, 45 mm width, indented on both edges so the fretting hand has more room to move
• Frets: 22 frets with deep cutaway — clean access past the 18th fret for lead lines

Electronics and Hardware — BZP2 Dual Pickup System

The amplification package is the heart of the Fusion Craft concept, designed to mimic a close-miked classical without stage-volume hassles.

• Pickup System: Bromo BZP2 — under-saddle piezo + 3-head under-bridge transducer with a dedicated blend knob
• Controls: Volume, Tone, Blend (3 in-line knobs) — solid ebony knobs with abalone position dots
• Bridge: Mt. Bromo amara ebony with bone saddle — transfers string energy directly into the top
• Tuners: Vintage "Mt. Bromo" gold-plated — stable tuning with classical string gauges (.030–.044w)

Who the BEN2C Is Built For

The BEN2C is the right choice for crossover players who want nylon-string warmth with electric-guitar comfort. Fingerstyle players gain a slim 48 mm neck and a 400 mm radius fingerboard that feels closer to a steel-string than a traditional classical. Live performers benefit from the chambered body's feedback resistance and the BZP2 blend knob, which can mimic a close-miked classical without hugging a microphone. Beginners will appreciate the easy fretting action and the low 2.2 kg weight during long practice sessions.
