Cordoba Master Hauser Classical Guitar in Spruce

The Córdoba Master Series Hauser is a faithful homage to Hermann Hauser’s legendary 1937 instrument, the guitar that helped define the modern classical sound in the hands of Andrés Segovia. Handcrafted in the USA with all solid woods and traditional construction techniques, it delivers a refined, balanced voice and a fast, comfortable feel that will appeal to serious classical players, concert performers and discerning students alike.

Combining a solid Italian Spruce top with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, a Spanish Cedar neck and an Ebony fingerboard, this Hauser-inspired model offers exceptional clarity, projection and sustain. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer to let the guitar breathe and resonate, and built around the iconic 1937 Hauser 7-fan bracing pattern, it captures the character of a golden-era concert instrument while remaining accessible and inspiring for today’s player.

The traditional 650 mm scale length and 52 mm nut width provide a familiar platform for classical technique, while the carefully carved C-shaped neck and precise fretwork make extended practice sessions and demanding repertoire feel natural and controlled. With premium Córdoba Master Series tuners and a deluxe humidified archtop wood case included, this is a complete concert-ready package straight out of the box.

Hauser Heritage, Modern Playability

At the heart of this guitar is the iconic 1937 Hauser design, revered for its balance, clarity and singing trebles. Córdoba have taken that blueprint and refined the neck profile, fretwork and setup for today’s players, giving you the expressive response of a historic concert instrument with the reliability and comfort required for modern performance and study.

All Solid Tonewoods

The solid Italian Spruce top offers a focused, responsive attack with excellent dynamic range, ideal for everything from delicate tremolo to powerful rasgueado. Paired with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, you get rich overtones, strong projection and a warm, complex low end that supports the melody without ever becoming muddy.

Traditional Spanish Construction

A Spanish Cedar neck joined with a traditional Spanish heel maximises the transfer of vibration between neck and body, enhancing sustain and resonance. The 1937 Hauser 7-fan bracing pattern under the top is voiced for balance across the registers, giving you clear, singing trebles, present mids and a supportive bass that responds beautifully to nuanced right-hand control.

Concert-Ready Details

An Ebony fingerboard and Indian Rosewood bridge and headplate provide a smooth, stable playing surface and long-term durability. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is thin and acoustically transparent, allowing the guitar to open up over time. High-tension Savarez Cristal Corum 500CJ strings come fitted from the factory, so you can immediately experience the guitar at its best.
