Exquisite Detailing, Impressive Playability

Enjoy rich tones and exquisite craftsmanship with the Cordoba C10! The Cordoba C10 is a work of art, and an excellent value in a nylon-string acoustic guitar. The handmade C10 sports Indian rosewood back and sides with a European spruce top, for rich tones with a lively presence. And the solid African mahogany neck provides excellent sustain and detail. No matter what your experience level, you'll love the attention to detail and excellent playability of the C10. And with the gloss polyurethane finish, Indian rosewood binding, and a hand-inlayed Mother-of-Pearl "Esteso" rosette, the C10 looks as good as it plays. Right down to the gold floral tuners and red purfling, every detail of the C10 makes it a guitar you'll want to keep for a lifetime. For a remarkably beautiful guitar that performs as good as it looks, get the Cordoba C10.

Traditional Design

The Cordoba C10 is constructed with incredible attention to detail. The C10 features traditional handmade classical guitar design, including the solid European spruce top with Spanish-style fan bracing. Fan bracing is preferred for classical guitars over lattice bracing, as it allows the guitar's top to vibrate more freely while still providing evenly balanced tone.

Quality Tonewoods

The Cordoba C10 features only premium quality tonewoods for maximum tonal complexity and richness. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid European spruce top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid African mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the spruce top. An ebony fingerboard and Indian rosewood bridge complete the elegant look.

Great Look, Great Playability

The Cordoba C10 is gorgeous to simply look at, from the detailed Mother-of-Pearl "Esteso" rosette inlay and Indian rosewood binding to the gold floral tuners with ebony buttons. And you'll love how the gloss finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and European spruce top. But looks aren't everything - the C10 was designed with playability in mind, and the great look is just the icing on the classical cake. You'll love how the C10 feels.

Beautiful

Beautiful guitar with a sweet tone. Perfect intonation from the factory. The action on the treble was pretty high (4mm) out of box, so I had to lower that to 3 or so. After that it was perfect.
Music background: playing instruments for 10 years

Amazing value

I've owned Kohno Professional J and Ramirez 1A, but I'm still thrilled with the my Cordoba 10S guitar!
Music background: Fingerstyle folk. Classical Study with William Mathews former
Rated 5/5

What a fantastic instrument!

I'm a first time buyer here at Sweetwater, but have been playing guitar for 17 years. These guys have excellent service and really do ensure the care of your instrument in transit.

But now, the guitar. She is absolutely beautiful! Everything I expected and more. And I still haven't even installed a support or my preferred strings yet! Great setup skills at Sweetwater for sure.

I wanted to wait a bit before really reviewing it given that the spruce took a few days to really wake up and open up the sound. The bass is rich and surprisingly wide and the treble is bright, clean, and focused. Cordoba really does the heritage of the classical guitar well.
Rated 5/5

Cordoba C10

Bought a demo at a very agreeable price with a nice polyfoam very lightweight case.
I had to perform the standard nylon guitar setup which I'm very familiar with and with the truss rod everyone avoids , one can get a buzz free /very low action playing experience.
Hayden Flack , my rep, response is fantastic, be it text, phone call or email.
If you buy somewhere other than Sweetwater, you're being foolish.

Great guitar for a few bucks!

This is a beautiful guitar. I love the nice spruce top, the grain of the rosewood back and sides, nice tuners.
Sounds balanced with good lows, mid and sparkling highs. I can't put it down for long before I pick it up and play classical music. I highly recommend it.
Music background: guitar player for more than 45 years.
