In 2026, the guitar brand MURCIA introduced many new high-end acoustic guitar models, among which the MURCIA AS 50 CE stands out.
At the heart of the impressive performance of the MURCIA AS 50 CE is the brand’s signature Grand Auditorium body shape. This medium-sized, highly versatile design is focused on tonal balance, blending the clarity and articulation of a Grand Concert with the power and projection of a Dreadnought. As a result, the guitar responds beautifully to a wide range of playing styles. Whether you play delicate fingerstyle, powerful strumming, or lead lines with complex melodies, the Grand Auditorium shape ensures every note rings out clearly and with strong presence.
The MURCIA AS 50 CE features a classic tonewood combination highly regarded by guitarists: Indian Rosewood for the back and sides paired with a solid Sitka Spruce top. Sitka Spruce provides a wide dynamic range, performing equally well in soft passages and energetic performances. Indian Rosewood—often referred to as the “superstar of tonewoods”—contributes warm lows, detailed highs, and a slightly scooped midrange. Together, this pairing creates a rich, resonant, and musical sound that suits any musical setting while leaving ample space for vocals or other instruments.
Beyond its primary tonewoods, the MURCIA AS 50 CE is crafted with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail. The neck is made from tropical Mahogany, known for its stability and comfortable feel, while the fingerboard is constructed from Richlite, a modern material now widely applied to fingerboards, offering exceptional hardness and superior resistance to warping.
Aesthetic details include mother-of-pearl inlays on the fingerboard and headstock, refined body binding, and a high-gloss finish over the entire body.
The MURCIA AS 50 CE is also equipped with the Fishman ISY-301 preamp system, delivering natural and powerful amplified sound for stage performance, and is strung with professional D’Addario EXP-16 acoustic strings.
Playing comfort is further enhanced by the Venetian cutaway with smooth, elegant curves for easy access to the upper frets, along with an integrated radius armrest on the body edge, providing maximum comfort—especially during long playing sessions.
The guitar comes complete with a Murcia gig bag and accessories.
