Enjoy rich tone and handbuilt quality with the Cordoba C7-CE! The Cordoba C7-CE is a fine value in an acoustic-electric nylon-string acoustic guitar. The handmade C7-CE sports Indian rosewood back and sides with a Canadian red cedar top, for vibrant tones with a lively presence. And the solid mahogany neck provides excellent sustain and detail. The cutaway gives you clear access to the entire fretboard. For onstage use the C7-CE has a Fishman Presys Blend preamp with an under-saddle piezo and an internal microphone. And with the gloss polyurethane finish, Indian rosewood binding, and a stylish rosette, the Cordoba C7-CE looks as good as it plays.





Traditional Design





The Cordoba C7-CE doesn't skimp on construction. The C7-CE features traditional handmade classical guitar design, including the solid Canadian red cedar top (choice top wood for classical guitars) and Spanish-style fan bracing. Fan bracing is preferred for classical guitars over lattice bracing, as it allows the guitar's top to vibrate more freely while still providing evenly balanced tone.





Quality Tonewoods





While the Cordoba C7-CE is inexpensive, Cordoba did not sacrifice quality materials. The Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid cedar top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the cedar top. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete the elegant look.





Great Look, Great Playability





The Cordoba C7-CE is a joy to simply look at, from the detailed rosette inlay and Indian rosewood binding to the gold tuners. And you'll love how the gloss finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and red cedar top. The Cordoba C7-CE's cutaway offers clear access to the upper fretboard for reaching those higher notes. A powerful Fishman Presys Blend preamp features an under-saddle piezo pickup and an internal microphone so you can deliver great sound when plugged in. The Cordoba C7-CE was designed with playability in mind, and its great look is just the icing on the classical cake.
