Product Description
The Cordoba Iberia C5-CE Classical Electro Acoustic in Spruce takes Cordoba’s hugely popular C5-CE platform and adds a bright, responsive solid Engelmann Spruce top. With its comfortable soft cutaway, traditional Spanish build and quality Fishman electronics, it is an inspiring first nylon-string guitar that is equally at home in the practice room, studio or on stage.
Lightweight and resonant, the C5-CE Spruce blends a solid Spruce soundboard with Mahogany back and sides for a clear, powerful voice with impressive sustain. Refined details like the carved headstock, hand-inlaid rosette, Pau Ferro fingerboard and bridge, and glossy polyurethane finish give it a premium look and feel that stands out in its class.
Stage-ready Classical Performance
The C5-CE Spruce is designed for players who want the feel and sound of a traditional nylon-string guitar with the practicality of modern electronics. The soft cutaway offers easy access to the upper frets, while the Fishman Presys II system ensures your tone translates clearly when amplified, making this guitar a strong choice for live performers, singer-songwriters and worship musicians.
Solid Engelmann Spruce Top
A solid Engelmann Spruce top gives the C5-CE Spruce a lively, articulate character with excellent dynamic range. Chords ring with clarity and separation, while single-note lines sing with a sweet, singing sustain. As a solid top, it will continue to open up and become more resonant the more you play it.
Traditional Spanish Construction
Handmade in the traditional Spanish style, the C5-CE Spruce features a fan-braced top, a dovetail neck joint and a carved headstock. This time-honoured approach enhances resonance and responsiveness, so you feel the guitar vibrate against you as you play, encouraging better touch and musical expression.
Comfortable Neck with Modern Stability
The Mahogany neck with a comfortable C-shaped profile and Pau Ferro fingerboard offers a familiar, inviting feel whether you are coming from classical or steel-string guitar. A lightweight adjustable truss rod is built into the neck, giving you the ability to fine-tune relief and maintain a consistent playing feel over time.
Features
- Solid Engelmann Spruce Top - The solid Spruce soundboard delivers a bright, clear and responsive tone with excellent projection. Its solid construction means the guitar’s voice will mature and become richer the more it is played.
- Fishman Presys II Electronics - The onboard Fishman Presys II preamp provides a reliable, natural-sounding amplified tone with simple controls. It makes it easy to plug straight into an amp or PA, ideal for gigs, rehearsals and recording sessions.
- Soft Cutaway for Upper Fret Access - A soft cutaway design allows comfortable access to the higher frets without compromising the guitar’s classical aesthetics. This is perfect for players who like to explore melodies, solos and extended chord voicings higher up the neck.
- Traditional Spanish Build with Quality Appointments - Features such as the fan bracing, carved headstock, hand-inlaid wood rosette, Pau Ferro fingerboard and bridge, and glossy polyurethane finish give the C5-CE Spruce a refined look and enhanced resonance, setting it apart from typical entry-level classical guitars.
