Additionally, with the 55FCE's attractive European spruce top and ziricote back and sides in your hand, you're sure to garner some jealous glances. The Cordoba 55FCE is a superb crossover nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar.

Excellent crossover nylon-string guitar

The 55FCE is tailor-made for the rock guitarist who's crossing over into flamenco or classical playing, as its thin profile and cutaway-electric-style neck will feel instantly familiar. Additionally, the 55FCE's ebony fingerboard makes for smooth playing with a percussive pick attack. Not simply a standard acoustic guitar that is strung with nylon strings, the 55FCE was built in the Spanish tradition, from its Spanish cedar neck right down to its Spanish fan bracing.

Fishman Prefix Problend pickup gets you heard

The Fishman Prefix Pro Blend is designed specifically for slim-bodied acoustic-electrics. Utilizing an internal microphone, as well as an acoustic matrix under-saddle pickup, the Fishman Prefix Pro furnishes you with a great deal of versatility. A volume control, in addition to a 3-band EQ and pickup/mic blend control, provides you with complete control over your sound. Additionally, the Fishman Prefix Pro incorporates a feedback-fighting notch filter and phase switch in its design to remove problem frequencies and ensure that you sound your best.

Cordoba - the nylon-string guitar experts

Cordoba first began manufacturing guitars in 1997. Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern elements, Cordoba states that their vision is to guide the evolution of the nylon-string guitar. Heavily influenced by Spanish tradition, every Cordoba guitar is lightweight, responsive, and tonally balanced. Cordoba also produces boutique steel-string instruments; however, such instruments are approached from a classical or Spanish guitar building perspective. If you're searching for a quality nylon-string guitar, Cordoba should be at the top of your list.

Cordoba 55FCE Nylon-string Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • Ziricote body with European spruce top produces a bright, robust sound full of overtones and depth
  • Indian rosewood binding/bridge ensures a tonally balanced sound
  • Cutaway-electric-style Spanish cedar neck with ebony fingerboard for comfort and percussive attack
  • Cordoba Premium Gold tuning machines keep you in tune and sounding great
