Product Description
The Córdoba Iberia C5 is a beautifully made, full-size classical guitar that is ideal as a first serious nylon-string instrument. With its solid Western Red Cedar top, Mahogany back and sides and traditional Spanish build, it delivers a clear, powerful voice with impressive sustain, all wrapped up in a classy gloss finish that looks as good as it sounds.
Handmade in the traditional style, the C5 blends authentic classical construction with modern playability. A comfortable C-shaped Mahogany neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard and a lightweight adjustable truss rod give you a stable, easy-playing platform that will grow with you as your technique develops. Refined touches such as the carved headstock, hand-inlaid wood rosette, Pau Ferro bridge and binding, and pearl white tuning buttons make this guitar stand out in its class.
Whether you are starting classical studies, exploring bossa nova and Latin styles or simply want the warm, expressive sound of nylon strings for songwriting, the C5 offers a responsive, inspiring feel that rewards a light touch and encourages good technique. It is a reliable, great-sounding workhorse that will take you from your first chords through to more advanced repertoire.
Traditional Spanish Construction
The C5 is built in the traditional Spanish style, with a dovetail neck joint and fan bracing under the solid Cedar top. This time-honoured approach helps the whole instrument resonate as one, giving you a lively, responsive feel and a more open, singing tone that reacts beautifully to dynamics and nuance.
Solid Cedar Top for Warm, Expressive Tone
A solid Western Red Cedar top gives the C5 its signature warmth and clarity. Cedar responds quickly to a light touch, making it perfect for fingerstyle and classical playing, while still offering plenty of projection and sustain. As a solid top, it will also open up and become even more resonant the more you play it.
Comfortable Neck with Adjustable Truss Rod
The Mahogany neck features a comfortable C-shaped profile and a Pau Ferro fingerboard, providing a smooth, familiar feel under the fingers. A lightweight adjustable truss rod is built into the neck for added stability, allowing precise neck relief adjustments so you can maintain an optimal playing action over time.
Refined Aesthetic Details
From the carved headstock and hand-inlaid wood rosette to the Pau Ferro bridge and binding, the C5 looks every bit as refined as it sounds. The gloss polyurethane finish highlights the natural beauty of the Cedar and Mahogany, while pearl white tuning buttons and a Rosewood back centre strip add subtle, classy visual touches.
