Beautiful Nylon-string Guitar from Cordoba

Here's the first new addition to the Cordoba Iberia series in eight years — the Cordoba C4-CE. This beautifully crafted traditional Spanish classical guitar features a solid African mahogany top with laminate mahogany back and sides — an unusual tonewood choice for nylon-string guitars, but one that projects an articulated, rich tone. The C4-CE also features a soft cutaway and thinner 50mm-wide neck that feels comfortable in your hands and is great for the often complex chord structures and intricate runs of classical-style guitar. A Fishman Sonitone active pickup system provides beautiful amplified tone when you plug in as well. Other premium appointments include maple binding, an abalone rosette, and a striking finish, putting the Cordoba C4-CE in the wheelhouse of expensive nylon-style guitars, but keeping it at a very affordable price point.

Great playability

The C4-CE's solid mahogany top provides a clear, articulate tone that is the heart of the classical nylon-string guitar. The slim, C-shape neck profile with pau ferro fingerboard offers beautiful response and playability as well, making those complex classical runs easier.

Cordoba C4-CE Nylon-string Guitar Features:

  • Great-sounding guitar at an amazing price
  • Solid mahogany top for excellent definition and projection
  • Traditional Spanish fan bracing provides a balanced, lively sound
  • Mahogany back and sides for full-bodied frequency response
  • Great plugged-in tone from Fishman Sonitone electronics

First time purchase of nylon-string guitar

For the price it's a great instrument, I bought this as I wanted to explore classical and flamenco-style music without dropping a mortgage payment. It's a beautiful and surprisingly _light_ guitar, in fact it's so light it almost feels "toy-like", however this strikes me as the kind of instrument that gets better with age & practice (after breaking it in so to speak).
The action is quite decent and it feels nice to play. Out of the box you'll be re-tuning this thing for like a week, but guessing that's natural w/these types of strings. I enjoy picking this thing up everyday, it's an inviting instrument for practice and that's good enough for me.

Great learning guitar for the price

This is my first classical guitar. For the price, you get a very nice sounding guitar for learning that also plugs in, and gives you the ease of playing with the cutaway. This is not the loudest guitar acoustically, but it's a perfect for enjoying the path of learning how to play the classical guitar.

Special thanks to my sales engineer, Pablo Murcia.
Music background: A few months of classical guitar study

New Favorite

In only 3 days this has become my favorite guitar out of 5. The action is great, after lowering the truss rod a bit. The sound is vibrant and rings nicely. I love this guitar for finger picking.

Anyone who says anything negative about this guitar, check and play it again and again.
This is a beautiful sounding and meticulously made guitar, AWESOME!
No disappointment here, super nice!

QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Spend more money if you want, but this instrument has more going for it than guitars I saw costing a lot more. Bone saddle and nut, Spanish fan bracing (like a real classical guitar should have), and the pau ferro board make this play and feel like its more expensive counterparts. I did take a chance with the African mohagany, but I am so pleased with the sound that I actually forgot this could be plugged in after playing all day! (And the battery is included!!) Well Worth the investment and then some! I also purchase the Cordoba "Humicase"…Never underestimate have a good case!!
Music background: Mom got us (my older brother and I) with Classical piano training (about 60 years past, at age 7); at age 19 started with guitar (mainly playing on a friend’s classical one) three to six hours a day for several years before ever playing public. Now with m
