Product Description
The Córdoba Protégé C1M CE is a comfortable, student friendly classical electro acoustic guitar that is ideal for lessons, practice and performance. With its slim neck, cutaway body and quality Fishman Presys VT electronics, it is designed to make nylon string playing feel easy and sound great whether you are unplugged or amplified.
Built with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the C1M CE delivers a clear, balanced tone that responds well to everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. A satin polyurethane finish, traditional mosaic rosette and Pau Ferro fingerboard give it a refined, classical look, while an adjustable truss rod and premium Savarez strings help keep it playing beautifully for the long term.
Comfortable Student Focused Design
The Protégé C1M CE is tailored for learners and developing players, with a slim C shaped mahogany neck that feels approachable from the first chord. The satin finish reduces friction under the hand, helping you move smoothly up and down the Pau Ferro fingerboard, while the classical body shape and moderate body depth make it easy to hold whether you are seated in a traditional position or playing more casually at home.
Cutaway Access to Higher Frets
A soft cutaway on the treble side of the body lets you comfortably reach higher frets for melodies, solos and extended chord voicings. This makes the C1M CE a great choice if you are studying graded pieces that move up the neck, or if you want the freedom to explore more modern styles that use the full range of the fingerboard.
Fishman Presys VT Classical Electronics
Equipped with a Fishman Presys VT Classical system, the C1M CE is ready for the stage or studio. The discreet soundhole mounted volume and tone controls let you shape your sound quickly without spoiling the clean classical aesthetic, while the side mounted battery box with integrated output jack keeps cable connection and battery changes simple and tidy.
Stable Construction with Quality Components
A spruce top with fan bracing provides a lively, responsive acoustic voice, supported by mahogany back and sides for warmth and depth. The adjustable truss rod helps maintain neck stability over time, while composite nut and saddle, Pau Ferro bridge and 14:1 gold tuners with pearl white buttons work together to offer reliable tuning and consistent playability, lesson after lesson.
Features
- Student Friendly Classical Electro Acoustic - Designed specifically for learners and progressing players, the C1M CE combines nylon string comfort with built in electronics so you can practise at home, perform at school or plug into an amp without changing instruments.
- Cutaway Body for Upper Fret Access - The cutaway design makes it easier to reach higher frets, opening up more repertoire and allowing you to play melodic lines and solos further up the neck with confidence.
- Fishman Presys VT Classical Pickup System - A dedicated classical voiced Fishman system delivers a clear, natural amplified tone, with simple volume and tone controls so you can quickly adapt your sound to different rooms and PA systems.
- Spruce and Mahogany Tonewood Combination - The spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide a balanced, articulate sound that suits both fingerstyle and strumming, giving students a versatile tonal platform for classical pieces and contemporary styles alike.
