Cordoba Iberia C7-CE Classical Electro Acoustic in Cedar

The Cordoba Iberia C7-CE is a stage-ready classical electro acoustic that blends traditional Spanish construction with modern performance features. With its solid Western Red Cedar top, rosewood back and sides, soft cutaway and Fishman Presys Blend electronics, it is an ideal choice for beginners and intermediate players who want an inspiring nylon string guitar that performs just as well amplified as it does acoustically.

Designed around a classic fan-braced classical body, the C7-CE delivers a warm, balanced voice with plenty of sustain and dynamic range. Whether you are practising at home, accompanying a singer, or stepping onto the stage for your first gig, this guitar offers a comfortable feel, reliable tuning and a refined tone that responds beautifully to your touch.

Warm, Responsive Cedar Tone

At the heart of the C7-CE is a solid Western Red Cedar top, chosen for its quick response and rich, warm character. Cedar excels at bringing out nuance in your playing, making it perfect for fingerstyle, classical repertoire and Latin styles. Paired with rosewood back and sides and traditional fan bracing, the guitar produces a full, singing tone with excellent projection and sustain, helping every note speak clearly in both solo and ensemble settings.

Stage Ready with Fishman Presys Blend

The built-in Fishman Presys Blend system combines an under saddle pickup with an internal microphone, giving you a natural, detailed amplified sound. You can blend between the two sources to suit different rooms and playing situations, from intimate coffee house gigs to louder band contexts. On board controls and tuner make it easy to dial in your tone and stay in tune without extra pedals or accessories, so you can focus on your performance.

Comfortable Cutaway Classical Design

A soft cutaway gives you easier access to the upper frets without sacrificing the classic look and feel of a traditional nylon string guitar. The comfortable C shape mahogany neck and 12 fret neck joint provide a familiar classical playing position, while the gloss polyurethane finish feels smooth and refined under the hands. Whether you are working on advanced pieces higher up the neck or exploring melodic solos, the cutaway design helps you reach those notes with confidence.

Refined Details and Reliable Playability

The C7-CE is finished with thoughtful touches that enhance both aesthetics and playability. A hand inlaid wooden rosette, rosewood binding and centre strip, and three ply maple and black purfling give the guitar a classy, traditional appearance. A two way adjustable truss rod allows precise neck adjustment, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge, plus bone nut and saddle, contribute to stable tuning and clear, articulate note definition over the whole fretboard.

• Solid Western Red Cedar Top - The solid cedar soundboard offers a warm, responsive tone with excellent sustain, ideal for expressive fingerstyle and classical playing. Its quick attack and rich midrange help every note speak clearly, even at lower volumes.
• Fishman Presys Blend Electronics - Combining an under saddle pickup with an internal microphone, the Presys Blend system delivers a natural amplified sound with plenty of control. Blend the two sources to suit different venues and enjoy the convenience of an on board tuner for quick, accurate tuning on stage.
• Soft Cutaway Classical Body - The soft cutaway design provides easier access to higher frets while retaining the feel and resonance of a traditional classical guitar. This makes it a great option for players exploring more advanced repertoire or melodic lead lines higher up the neck.
• Premium Tonewoods and Components - Rosewood back, sides, bridge and fingerboard, paired with a mahogany neck and bone nut and saddle, create a stable, resonant platform with clear note separation and reliable intonation. The high gloss polyurethane finish and hand inlaid rosette add a touch of elegance that looks as good as it sounds.
