Cordoba 06541 C12 SP Classical Nylon String Guitar, Solid European Spruce Top

Description

Player's Perspective

This Córdoba C12 is another amazing example of the company's commitment to fantastic classical instruments, and we're proud to make it available for the discerning players who seek a high-quality tool for the trade.

Córdoba did a fantastic job in selecting the tonewoods. Indian rosewood back and sides and a European spruce top produce a clear, open tone, the mahogany neck imparts a certain warmth to it, and the ebony fingerboard both feels great under the fingers and adds extra brightness and clarity to your notes. Those of us here at the shop who have little experience in the world of classical and flamenco playing were still able to appreciate the three-dimensional quality in which the nylon strings resonated against this wood combination. The neck profile is very comfortable and the fretwork is excellent, especially for the price-point.

The visual appointments on this guitar are to die for and make the instrument look truly like a unique heirloom piece: flame maple center strip on the back, gorgeous multi-ply binding, and a beautiful pearloid rosette.

Item Specifics

The all-solid C12 is one of Córdoba's most high-end and modern guitars. The C12's lattice bracing and raised fingerboard are elements that make this model truly stand out from the rest. The delicately braced top provides rich tones with a lively presence and the raised fingerboard makes accessing upper frets a breeze. The C12 is a treasure to last a lifetime with stunning decorative elements such as its flamed maple center wedge on the back, matching maple binding, and hand-inlaid 1920s-inspired pearloid rosette. Comes inside a hardshell Córdoba humidified archtop case.
