Product Description
Based on Cordoba’s best-selling C5, the Iberia C5-CE takes that classic, player-friendly platform and makes it stage-ready. A soft cutaway offers effortless access to higher frets, while a discreet Fishman Presys II system delivers a clear, natural nylon-string sound when you plug in. With its solid Western Red Cedar top, mahogany back and sides and comfortable neck, it is an inspiring choice for beginners, advancing students and gigging players alike.
Lightweight and responsive, the C5-CE produces a warm, balanced voice with impressive sustain, whether you are playing fingerstyle pieces at home or amplified on stage. Elegant touches such as the carved headstock, hand-inlaid wood rosette, gloss polyurethane finish and quality Savarez strings give it a refined, traditional look that stands out in its class. An adjustable truss rod inside the neck adds long-term stability and easy set-up tweaks as your playing develops.
Comfortable Cutaway Classical Design
The soft cutaway body shape gives you easy access to the upper register without sacrificing the familiar feel of a full-size classical guitar. Whether you are tackling advanced repertoire, extended chords or melodic solos higher up the neck, the C5-CE lets you reach those notes comfortably and confidently.
Solid Cedar Top with Mahogany Back and Sides
A solid Western Red Cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides delivers a warm, rounded tone with rich mids and a sweet top end. This classic tonewood combination responds beautifully to a light touch, making it ideal for expressive fingerstyle playing and giving you a full, musical sound both acoustically and amplified.
Stage-Ready Fishman Presys II Electronics
The onboard Fishman Presys II preamp makes it simple to take your nylon-string sound to the stage or studio. With a built-in tuner, volume, bass, treble and phase controls, you can quickly dial in a clear, feedback-resistant tone that still feels natural and dynamic under the fingers.
Refined Playability and Traditional Aesthetics
A comfortable C-shape mahogany neck, pau ferro fingerboard and bone nut and saddle work together to provide a smooth playing feel and reliable intonation. Details like the carved headstock, hand-inlaid wood rosette, matching binding and pearl white tuning buttons give the C5-CE a classic Spanish-inspired look that will keep you inspired to play.
