Premium Tonewoods at a Great Price

Enjoy rich tone and handbuilt quality with the Cordoba C7-CE! The Cordoba C7-CE is a fine value in an acoustic-electric nylon-string acoustic guitar. The handmade C7-CE sports Indian rosewood back and sides with a Canadian red cedar top, for vibrant tones with a lively presence. And the solid mahogany neck provides excellent sustain and detail. The cutaway gives you clear access to the entire fretboard. For onstage use the C7-CE has a Fishman Presys Blend preamp with an under-saddle piezo and an internal microphone. And with the gloss polyurethane finish, Indian rosewood binding, and a stylish rosette, the Cordoba C7-CE looks as good as it plays.

Traditional Design

The Cordoba C7-CE doesn't skimp on construction. The C7-CE features traditional handmade classical guitar design, including the solid Canadian red cedar top (choice top wood for classical guitars) and 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

While the Cordoba C7-CE is inexpensive, Cordoba did not sacrifice quality materials. The Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid cedar top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the cedar top. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete the elegant look.

Great Look, Great Playability

The Cordoba C7-CE is a joy to simply look at, from the detailed rosette inlay and Indian rosewood binding to the gold tuners. And you'll love how the gloss finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and red cedar top. The Cordoba C7-CE's cutaway offers clear access to the upper fretboard for reaching those higher notes. A powerful Fishman Presys Blend preamp features an under-saddle piezo pickup and an internal microphone so you can deliver great sound when plugged in. The Cordoba C7-CE was designed with playability in mind, and its great look is just the icing on the classical cake.

Cordoba C7-CE Acoustic-electric Nylon-string Guitar Features:

  • Great-sounding cutaway acoustic-electric guitar at an amazing price
  • Traditional Spanish fan bracing provides a balanced, lively sound
  • Indian Rosewood back and sides for full-bodied frequency response
  • Canadian red cedar top for excellent definition and projection
  • Fishman Presys Blend with 4-band EQ, under-saddle piezo, and internal microphone

Rated 5/5

A sound the angels would appreciate.

The Cordoba C7-CE was exactly what I wanted, spruce top, rosewood back and sides and electronics.
My brother asked why I bought without playing it.
I admit I was concerned but went with Sweetwaters promise of fully inspected and playable out of the box.
I was not disappointed; the guitar was tuned a step down for travel.
After a minor tuning the sound was wonderful.
The appearance was just as the photos indicated, even the "character blemish" on the front was there.
Matt, my consultant, rearranged the shipping so the guitar would not be damaged.
My Sweetwater experience with Matt, the guitar, case, and accessories was among the best I've had anywhere.
Rated 5/5

Loving it so far...

Just an old musician trying to get back on the guitar. I really can't say much as I'm not a very good player at all. But the quality and customer service was excellent and I love playing it so far.
Rated 5/5

Great tone - a lifetime guitar

The guitar projects and sustains notes much better than my last one. Fingering with the left hand is comfortable and it's an attractive guitar. I find that the cedar top and rosewood sides add depth and warmth to my playing. It's at a good price, too.

Beautiful Sound and Looks

I've had my Cordoba C7-CE for a few weeks and I have to say that it has become my favorite guitar. Opening the box, I was struck by just how beautiful the guitar is; fit and finish is outstanding. The setup is good out of the box and the tone is wonderful both acoustically and through an amp. My guitar coach played it (he's been playing for 50+ years and is classically trained) and was also very impressed.

I also purchased Cordoba's HumiCase, which is well worth the price, to protect the guitar. Very nice case and the C7-CE fits extremely well.
Rated 5/5

Gorgeous Guitar

From the moment I took this guitar out of the box, I knew I'd be playing it every day of my life. Sounds and feels wonderful acoustically and electrically. Make sure you don't leave the tuner/preamp on because a dying battery will drastically alter your recording sound.
The instrument however doesn't come with a case, though you're paying $... (Someone I know received their Spruce Cordoba from Sweetwater in a very nice Cordoba case without having ordered it... Must have been promotional). It came in a box in another box with padding, but seemingly no plastic seal/waterproofing. Despite that it arrived in great condition.
