Our verdict

An unlaminated concert classical with fan bracing and a case in the box, aimed at serious nylon string players. No pickup is mentioned, so amplified playing needs a microphone.

Overview

Fan bracing under a spruce top lets the center of the soundboard vibrate freely on this Cordoba Luthier series classical, paired with Indian rosewood back and sides. Spanish heel construction joins the neck to the top before the back seals the body, so the instrument resonates as one piece.

Unlaminated spruce over Indian rosewood, with a traditional build, aims this guitar at players moving up to a concert instrument. The two-way truss rod gives a technician a way to correct neck relief. The flat fingerboard and traditional neck shape feel broad to a steel string player, and the nut width for this version is not given.

Who it's for

Advancing classical students and players replacing a laminate guitar get unlaminated tonewoods and a flat traditional fingerboard. Steel string players wanting a slimmer neck are steered by Cordoba toward its Crossover version.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Unlaminated spruce top and rosewood body

  • Two-way truss rod for neck adjustment
  • Ebony fingerboard and rosewood bridge
Cons
  • No pickup mentioned
  • Nut width not listed for this version

Performance notes

Fan braces leave the middle of the soundboard free to move, so the top responds to string tension with more volume and fuller tone. Spanish heel construction ties top, neck and sides together, letting the body vibrate as one unit. The two-way truss rod lets neck relief be set to suit the action a player wants.
