Cordoba C5-CE

The Cordoba C5-CE with its extremely light and modern construction impressively proves that tradition and innovation can be harmoniously combined. Thus, the construction comes in the usual dimensions but is equipped with a cutaway and a pickup system. While the fan bracing and the razor-thin high-gloss finish ensures a fast and even sound development, the neck is equipped with a round 'C' profile, which facilitates gripping in all frets enormously. Smooth-running classical tuners are inserted into the headstock, guaranteeing precise tuning of the strings, which intonate cleanly over the entire 650 mm scale length thanks to the perfectly matched bone hardware. Visually, the guitar is rounded off by a filigree Binding and a corresponding soundhole rosette.

Construction and woods

Since the top is made of solid cedar, the guitar produces a warm and extensive tone that is particularly pronounced in the midrange frequencies. The body is made of laminated mahogany and complements the sound with a pleasant and bass-rich note. The mahogany neck is equipped with a pau ferro fingerboard, which is extremely easy to reach all 19 frets thanks to the generous Cutaways.

Hardware and design

Thanks to the saddle and the 50 mm wide bone nut, all notes are cleanly unfolded in all positions. Furthermore, with the help of the gold-plated tuners, tuning is enormously facilitated. In addition, the instrument is equipped with a high-quality Fishman Presys II system, which transmits the acoustic sound unaltered to the amplifier. In addition to a 2-band equalizer, the extensive ribbed preamp is equipped with a practical tuner. To perfectly show off the structure of the installed tonewoods, the guitar is sealed with a thin high-gloss varnish, which gives the overall appearance a noble touch.
