Overview
Cordoba builds the GK Studio Negra as a gigging flamenco guitar with an unlaminated spruce top over rosewood back and sides. A Fishman blend system handles amplified shows, and a slimmer body and neck make it quick under the fingers.
Plug in readiness and low action make it an easy step onto stage for nylon string players. The rosewood body gives a deeper voice than bright cypress flamenco guitars, which suits some styles more than others.
Who it's for
Made for flamenco players and steel string converts who like a slimmer neck and plug in convenience. Strict classical players may prefer a traditional profile.
Pros and cons
- Unlaminated spruce top
- Built in pickup and preamp
- Low action, fast neck
- Cutaway reaches high frets
- Thinner neck than classical norm
- Case not listed
- Electronics warranty shorter
Performance notes
Tone comes from the unlaminated spruce top driven by rosewood back and sides, which deepens the bass. Little neck relief lowers the strings for fast playing. The blend system mixes pickup sources so the amplified sound stays natural.
