Product Description
The Córdoba C5 Left Handed is a beautifully built, full-size nylon-string classical that gives left-handed players a genuine taste of traditional Spanish guitar making. With its solid Western Red Cedar top, mahogany back and sides and comfortable neck profile, it delivers a clear, powerful voice with impressive sustain, making it ideal as a first serious classical guitar or a long-term practice and performance partner.
Handmade in the traditional style, the C5 pairs elegant details like a carved headstock, hand-inlaid wood rosette and Pau Ferro appointments with modern playability and stability. A lightweight adjustable truss rod helps keep the neck playing perfectly over time, while quality components such as a bone nut and saddle and Savarez strings let the guitar ring freely and respond to every nuance of your touch.
Traditional Tonewoods, Inspiring Sound
At the heart of the C5 is its solid Western Red Cedar top, chosen for its warm, responsive character and ability to project even the lightest fingerstyle passages. Mahogany back and sides add focus and midrange clarity, giving you a balanced, musical tone that works equally well for classical repertoire, Latin styles or gentle accompaniment. Because the top is solid rather than laminated, the guitar will continue to open up and develop more richness the more you play it.
Comfortable Left Handed Classical Feel
Designed specifically for left-handed players, the C5 offers a familiar classical feel with a C-shaped mahogany neck that fills the hand without feeling bulky. The Pau Ferro fingerboard is smooth and stable, allowing for clean shifts and accurate fingering up to the 12th fret join. Combined with the fan bracing pattern and traditional body dimensions, it gives you the control and feedback you need to develop proper technique and expressive dynamics.
Elegant Spanish Craftsmanship
The C5 is handmade in the Spanish tradition, and that attention to detail is clear as soon as you pick it up. A carved headstock, hand-inlaid wood rosette and Pau Ferro bridge and binding give the guitar a refined, classic look, while the gloss polyurethane finish highlights the natural beauty of the cedar and mahogany. Pearl white tuning buttons and a rosewood back centre strip complete a tasteful aesthetic that looks far more upmarket than its price suggests.
Stable, Reliable and Built to Last
Inside the neck you will find a lightweight adjustable truss rod, providing extra stability and allowing fine-tuning of the neck relief as conditions change. This, together with the dovetail neck joint and quality bone nut and saddle, helps maintain consistent playability and intonation over time. With its thoughtful construction and carefully chosen materials, the C5 is built to support years of lessons, practice sessions and performances.
Features
- Solid Western Red Cedar Top - A solid cedar soundboard delivers a warm, responsive tone with excellent sustain and projection, helping your playing sound full and expressive even at lower volumes.

- Left Handed Classical Design - Purpose-built for left-handed players, the C-shaped mahogany neck and Pau Ferro fingerboard provide a familiar classical feel, making it easier to develop proper technique and comfortable hand positioning.
