collapse expand iconDescription

Córdoba's C5 SP Classical acoustic-electric guitar offers an unparalleled combination of tone, comfort and visual appeal for nylon-string players. Featuring a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the C5 SP produces a balanced acoustic tone with articulate highs, warm mids and full low end. Its traditional Spanish fan bracing provides the structural support for this crisp yet resonant voice. The C5 SP's lightweight mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard feel instantly familiar and playable. Accurate intonation is ensured by gold tuning machines with pearl buttons that also provide a touch of vintage style. The Córdoba C5 SP is a nylon-string classical guitar that sings.

Solid Spruce Top Sings With Sustain

The C5 SP's solid spruce top provides the foundation for its balanced, resonant tone. Spruce is a traditional top wood prized for its ability to produce notes that bloom with sustain and nuance. When combined with mahogany back and sides, the result is an acoustic voice with crisp treble, warm midrange and full bass frequencies.

Traditional Spanish Bracing Supports Tone

Beneath the spruce top, traditional Spanish fan bracing provides structural support. This type of bracing enhances the C5 SP's tonal qualities, allowing the spruce top to vibrate freely. The result is an open, resonant quality with clear articulation across the tonal spectrum.

Smooth Neck and Fingerboard

The C5 SP's mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard feel instantly comfortable and playable. The smooth, lightweight neck is shaped for chordal and single-note playing. Its pau ferro fingerboard provides an ideal surface for nylon strings. Together, the neck and fingerboard make the C5 SP feel like an old friend from the first note.

Gold Tuners Provide Visual Appeal and Accuracy

Not just for looks, the C5 SP's gold tuning machines with pearl buttons provide accurate intonation for proper pitch and tuning stability. Their vintage-inspired style also adds a touch of visual flair, perfectly complementing the guitar's natural mahogany and spruce tones.

    This product is everything that I needed for learning classical guitar. This guitar has very sweet and well balanced tone and sounds great when playing solo. The product is slick and smooth and feels great to play on. It's also very light and easy to transport around and jam with others.

    I have had this C5 SP for a week and I just love the sound! I have a C5 CE Cedar top which is very good but the sound is too warm for me. I like a brighter sound, so I brought the C5 SP Classical and I'm so glad! The playability is sweet, comfortable to finger and it's beautiful to hold and look at.

  • High quality guitar for a reasonable price

    This guitar projects so loudly, while being well balanced in bass/treble/midrange. It feels and looks fantastic, with beautiful wood grain and design, and the action was set up well from the get go!

  • Great sound and high quality
