Student-level Classical Guitar with Onboard Electronics

The Cordoba Protégé C1M-CE packs plenty of value into its sleek cutaway body. This nylon-string classical guitar features premium tonewoods of spruce and mahogany for a classic sound that's hard to beat. New players will appreciate the nylon strings' soft feel, which makes hours of playing comfortable and much more enjoyable. And for recitals and performances, the C1M-CE is equipped with Cordoba GP-2 electronics. At home, in the practice room, or onstage, the Cordoba Protégé C1M-CE is an excellent option for students and beginners alike.

Classic tonewood pairing creates an excellent tone

To produce its outstanding tone, the Protégé C1M-CE utilizes a classic tonewood combination of mahogany topped with premium spruce. The mahogany back and sides create warmth and resonance that are perfectly complemented by the excellent attack and singing notes produced by the spruce top. The C1M's body features a generous cutaway to give you unfettered access to the upper frets. Finally, the top is decorated with a mosaic rosette for a traditional feel.

Onboard electronics for plugged-in performance

Nervous about hitting the stage for the first time? Don't be! The Protégé C1M-CE features built-in electronics so you can plug in and perform with ease. Guitarists at Sweetwater found the GP-2 preamp and under-saddle pickup to provide a great sound. And since there are no controls to fiddle with, all you have to do is plug in, sit down, and play!

Cordoba Protégé C1M-CE Nylon-string Acoustic-electric Classical Guitar Features:

  • Value-packed classical guitar for beginners and students
  • Spruce top delivers impressive note definition and powerful projection
  • Mahogany back and sides add warmth and extra resonance
  • Pau ferro fingerboard provides plenty of real estate for classical and flamenco playing

Amazing for Beginners
I got my C1M-CE in March 2022 and my experience as a beginner in all aspects has been marvellous! 100 percent recommend if you're just starting.
Music background: Worship Leader
Satisfactory Beginner Guitar
This is my first guitar and I've had it for two weeks now. It's been everything I wanted for a beginner guitar and it's been a lot of fun. Thank you!
