Cordoba C5-CESB Electro Acoustic Cutaway Classical Guitar, Sunburst Overview

The Cordoba C5-CESB Electro Acoustic Classical Guitar is based on Cordoba's best-selling C5 guitar which has been the mainstay in the Iberia series for many years, but adds a distinctly modern touch of a solid Sitka Spruce top with a stunning sunburst finish. The African Mahogany back and sides combine with the traditional 7 fan bracing pattern to produce a warm, yet crisp and articulate tone. The soft cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets and ensures a comfortable playing experience, while the Fishman Isys+ pickup amplifies your sound for live performances. The new Cordoba C5-SB also features a traditional style Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fingerboard, Maple and Ebony purfling, an all wood inlaid rosette and mother of pearl inlays.
