The Esteve 5FCE takes the lively, immediate character of the 5F and expands it for the guitarist who wants cutaway access and professional amplification in a lightweight Spanish-made flamenco instrument.
Its voice retains the qualities we expect from a flamenco guitar — fast attack, punchy response, bright and articulate trebles, and strong rhythmic definition — while the low-action setup and lightweight construction make it exceptionally comfortable and responsive under the fingers.
The cutaway provides easier access to the upper register, making the 5FCE particularly appealing to players whose repertoire extends beyond traditional flamenco positions or who require greater freedom across the fingerboard.
For live performance, the Fishman Prefix Pro Blend electronics give the player an integrated amplification system designed to combine pickup and microphone sources, making this model equally at home in practice, rehearsal and amplified performance.
At only 1.6 kg / 3.52 lbs, the 5FCE remains remarkably light and comfortable to hold.
A versatile choice for the flamenco guitarist who wants Spanish character, immediate response, excellent playability and stage-ready versatility.

Traditional Flamenco Response — With Modern Versatility
The Esteve 5FCE is built around the same fundamental idea that makes a dedicated flamenco guitar so enjoyable to play: immediacy.
Its solid European spruce soundboard contributes to the lively, direct response required for rhythmic flamenco playing, while the lightweight construction helps give the instrument its quick and energetic personality.
For the player, that translates into an instrument well suited to the articulation and rhythmic precision demanded by techniques such as rasgueado, picado, alzapúa and golpe.
What distinguishes the 5FCE is the additional versatility offered by its cutaway and Fishman Prefix Pro Blend electronics.
The cutaway opens access to the upper register while the onboard Fishman system allows the guitar to transition naturally from an acoustic practice or rehearsal instrument to an amplified guitar for performance and stage use.
It is therefore an especially interesting choice for flamenco players who perform live, guitarists working with ensembles, or musicians looking for a Spanish-made nylon-string instrument with a distinctly flamenco response and greater amplified versatility.
