The C1M is the perfect nylon-string guitar for any aspiring guitarist. Part of the Protégé by Cordoba line, the C1M was developed by one of the world's top nylon-string guitar brands to provide young players with a comfortable, great-sounding first guitar at an affordable price.

Drawing on generations of Spanish guitar-making tradition, Cordoba has carefully chosen quality materials for incredible sound, and prioritized comfort, playability and attractive aesthetics to create truly inspiring instruments with which students can effectively learn and grow. Every Protégé C1M model is built with the combination of a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, a comfortable, slim neck profile, rosewood bridge and fingerboard, traditional-style mosaic rosette, gold tuning machines and a matte polyurethane finish. Like all Cordoba instruments, C1M models feature premium Savarez strings and an adjustable truss rod to ensure a straight neck for the life of the instrument.

    There's nothing about this guitar that would cause problems for new players. Nicely made, very comfortable and rewards good fingering with good tone. The nut causes some of the strings to catch during tuning, Possibly from the 'High Tension' (fatter) strings? I ended up putting graphite in the grooves and things improved. The tuners are fine. We're becoming good friends after 6 weeks, I like it!

    I use my C1M to practice the weeks lessons assigned by my instructor. The nut width is wide enough that muting strings is minimized .

    Is there a truss rod?

    Is there a truss rod?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    No. Classical guitars typically do not have truss rods due to lower string tension

    Although advertised by Cordoba as a classical guitar, with the narrow nut width of 1.65 mm this guitar is actually more of a hybrid, correct?

    Not really. The nut size doesn't make it any type of hybrid. It's sound is pure classical.

    What kind, specifically, of strings do I need to buy to use on this guitar? Of ALL the nylon packages you sell, which would be easiest to use in replacing? The smallest string already broke today!
