Cordoba Luthier C10 Classical Acoustic Guitar in Spruce

The Cordoba Luthier C10 is an all-solid, Spanish-style classical guitar designed for serious players who want a genuine concert-level instrument without the boutique price tag. Featuring a solid spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides, a traditional Spanish heel neck joint and fan bracing, it delivers the projection, clarity and warmth demanded by advancing students and seasoned performers alike.

Handmade in a small workshop, the C10 combines time-honoured construction with carefully selected tonewoods to create a responsive, expressive instrument. Its comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bone nut and saddle ensure a refined playing feel and excellent tuning stability, making it a reliable partner for practice, performance and recording.

Concert-Level Tone and Projection

The C10’s solid spruce top is supported by a traditional 7-fan bracing pattern, giving you a bright, articulate voice with excellent projection and dynamic range. Whether you are playing delicate passages or powerful rasgueado, the guitar responds with clarity and balance across the entire fingerboard, making it ideal for classical repertoire and expressive solo work.

All-Solid Rosewood Body

Solid rosewood back and sides provide a rich, complex tonal foundation, adding depth, sustain and a piano-like low end to complement the spruce top. This all-solid construction allows the instrument to open up over time, rewarding regular playing with increased resonance and nuance as the woods continue to mature.

Traditional Spanish Construction

Built with a Spanish heel neck joint, the C10 follows classic lutherie methods that enhance the transfer of vibration between neck and body. This results in improved sustain, responsiveness and a more unified feel under the hands, giving you the sense of a single, resonant piece of wood rather than separate components.

Refined Playability and Feel

A comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and precisely finished frets make the C10 a pleasure to play for extended sessions. The 52 mm nut width and 650 mm scale length offer the familiar classical spacing required for accurate left-hand technique, while the smooth gloss finish and carefully shaped neck profile support clean shifts and advanced fingerings.
