Cordoba Left-Handed Iberia C5-CE Classical Electro Acoustic

The Cordoba Iberia C5 CE Left Handed is a stage ready take on Cordoba’s best selling C5, tailored specifically for left handed players. With its comfortable cutaway body, responsive Fishman Presys II electronics and classic solid cedar top, it is an ideal first nylon string guitar that can grow with you from home practice to live performance.

Lightweight and resonant, the C5 CE LH pairs a solid Western Red Cedar top with mahogany back and sides for a warm, rounded voice with plenty of sustain. A gloss polyurethane finish, carved headstock, hand inlaid rosette and Pau Ferro fingerboard and bridge give it a refined, traditional look, while the slim C shaped neck and built in truss rod keep it feeling familiar and stable for modern players.

Comfortable Left Handed Cutaway Design

Based on the popular C5 platform, the C5 CE Left Handed adds a soft cutaway to the bass side of the body, giving you much easier access to the upper frets without sacrificing classical aesthetics. The body dimensions and 12 fret neck join retain a traditional classical feel, but the cutaway lets you explore higher register melodies and solos with far less strain, making it a great choice if you are coming from steel string or electric guitar.

Warm, Expressive Nylon String Tone

A solid Western Red Cedar top sits at the heart of the C5 CE LH, supported by a traditional fan bracing pattern. This classic combination responds beautifully to a light touch, delivering a warm, balanced tone that is perfect for classical repertoire, Latin styles and fingerstyle arrangements. Mahogany back and sides add focus and midrange presence, while the Pau Ferro bridge and fingerboard help transfer vibration efficiently for clear note definition and singing sustain.

Fishman Presys II Electronics for Stage and Studio

Equipped with a Fishman Presys II preamp, the C5 CE LH is ready to plug straight into an amp, PA or audio interface. The side mounted control panel gives you intuitive access to volume and tone shaping, while the combination battery box and output jack keeps the 9V power supply neatly tucked away at the lower bout. Whether you are performing on stage or recording at home, you can capture a natural nylon string sound without the hassle of external mics.

Player Friendly Neck with Adjustable Truss Rod

The mahogany neck features a comfortable C shaped profile that feels approachable for beginners yet fast enough for more advanced players. A lightweight adjustable truss rod is built into the neck, allowing a technician to fine tune the relief for optimum playability as the guitar settles over time. Combined with smooth 2.0 mm frets and a Pau Ferro fingerboard, the C5 CE LH offers a reassuringly stable and enjoyable playing experience for left handed guitarists.

• Left Handed Cutaway Classical Body - Designed specifically for left handed players, the C5 CE LH offers a soft cutaway that opens up the upper register while retaining the familiar feel of a 12 fret classical body, making higher position chords and melodies far more accessible.
• Solid Western Red Cedar Top with Mahogany Back and Sides - The solid cedar top responds quickly and warmly to your touch, while mahogany back and sides provide a balanced, focused tone, giving you a rich, musical sound that works equally well acoustically or amplified.
• Fishman Presys II Electronics - The onboard Fishman Presys II system lets you plug in and play with confidence, offering clear, controllable amplification for gigs, rehearsals and recording without compromising the guitar’s natural nylon string character.
• Comfortable C Shape Neck with Truss Rod - A mahogany C profile neck and Pau Ferro fingerboard feel smooth and familiar under the fingers, while the adjustable truss rod provides long term neck stability and the ability to dial in a comfortable action as your playing develops.
