Classical Nylon Acoustic-electric from Cordoba

The Cordoba C5-CE is a quality nylon acoustic with a deep cutaway for effortless access to the high frets. Featuring a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides finished in a smooth gloss polyurethane, the C5-CE produces wonderful acoustic tone that touches on the high, mid, and low ranges in a beautifully balanced fashion. The C-shaped mahogany neck with pau ferro fingerboard is instantly playable and responsive. And when you are ready to plug in, onboard Fishman Isys+ electronics deliver outstanding amplified acoustic tone — a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater

Fishman electronics

Your Cordoba C5-CE nylon-string guitar comes with a built-in Fishman Isys+ pickup system for great plugged-in tone. Whether you're playing live or just want an easy way to record, you'll love how the Fishman Isys+ system picks up every nuance of your performance. It also has a built-in tuner for accurate tuning anytime.

Fine appointments support tone

The Cordoba C5-CE features fine appointments normally only found on more expensive instruments. A genuine bone nut and saddle supports the tone of this acoustic, and a pau ferro bridge looks classic and further enhances tone. Cordoba gold tuners with pearl buttons keep you in tune and look classic.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

C5-CE

I'm very please with my new Cordoba C5=CE and great service I received from Kenny and the custom shop at Sweetwater.
by Dale from Utah on
Music background: Novice

Very Satisfied New Owner

I’ve played the guitar now for more than thirty years and this is my first classical guitar and I’m very satisfied with both the sound and the build quality. The instrument I received is both light weight, like a classical guitar ought to be, and has a solid feel as well. I’m not sure whether to give Cordoba’s or Sweetwater’s quality control credit but the set up was very nearly perfect right out of the box. I really like the sound of the solid spruce top. It has the warmth I want from a classical guitar with more clarity than the solid cedar topped instruments I played. I knew when I began shopping that I wanted a pickup on my guitar and the Fishman delivers a very good reproduction of the classical guitar sound and feel.

I want to thank Sweetwater for a very easy purchase process. Being able to select a specific instrument over the internet was a perk I didn’t expect. Your customer service is second to none and your turn around on the order was amazing. The only way I could have gotten the guitar faster was to but it from a store.

Great Classical Guitar

I purchased the C5-CE Spruce. It arrived, perfect, in tune (down a full step). My son has this model with a cedar top. This influenced me. The guitar has a great tone and electronics. The action was a little high, but easily tweaked to my preference. The neck has an adjustable trussrod. Overall this guitar is a joy to play and hear!
