Description

The Cordoba Dolce 7/8-size acoustic nylon-string classical guitar is slightly smaller than a standard guitar at 7/8 size with a 24.8" scale length, making the Dolce an ideal choice for anyone seeking an easy-playing, lightweight instrument. Built using traditional Spanish fan bracing and premium tonewoods like solid Canadian cedar and mahogany, this guitar produces a full, resonant sound brimming with rich overtones. Its 50 mm (1.97") nut width and comfortable neck profile make the Dolce accessible even to players with smaller hands. For an affordable, great-sounding classical guitar in a size suited to developing musicians, look no further than the Córdoba Dolce 7/8.

Premium Tonewoods Provide Exceptional Tone

The Dolce's solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides are carefully selected and paired to maximize acoustic potential. Cedar is a popular choice for classical guitars thanks to its warmth, sensitivity and complex overtones. When combined with mahogany, known for its clarity and focus, the result is a tone that is articulate yet lyrical. These premium tonewoods give the Dolce a voice that belies its smaller size and beginner-friendly price.

Traditional Build Techniques Deliver Authentic Sound

Córdoba is dedicated to crafting classical guitars using time-honored Spanish techniques and the Dolce is no exception. Its solid cedar top features traditional fan bracing, with wooden struts arranged in a fan-like pattern to provide structural support while allowing the top to vibrate freely. The Dolce's mahogany back and sides are also joined using traditional Spanish heel construction, with the neck integrated into the body for optimal resonance. These traditional build techniques are key to the Dolce's authentic classical acoustic tone.

Ideal Size and Playability for Developing Musicians

At 7/8 size with a shorter 24.8" scale length, the Dolce is perfectly suited for beginners and students. Its smaller size makes it comfortable to hold and play, even for younger musicians and those with smaller hands. The Dolce's nut width of 1.88" is also more compact than a standard classical guitar, providing ample finger space for complex chords and barre shapes. Whether you're a new player or an experienced guitarist seeking a portable, easy-playing instrument, the Dolce's smaller size and uncompromising tone make it a natural choice.

    I am taking a beginner guitar class was a professional classical guitar player. I finally decided to buy myself a new guitar and this was the only one he recommended. This is a very good quality guitar at a reasonable price. The longer I play it, the better it sounds. I am very happy with this purchase and I will definitely recommend this guitar to others. If you are looking for a really nice nylon string classical guitar and aren't willing to break the bank but you still want incredibly quality, this is the guitar for you.

  • Unbelievable Comfort to Play Day 1

    I really like the comfortable size this guitar is for me. I had a 610mm / 48mm nut and also a 660mm / 52mm nut full size classical (a Yamaha G-231. This size is perfect. I love the scale length and the slightly smaller width of the nut. The string spacing is excellent. The sound is getting better as it gets played and the strings stop stretching so much. The bass on the Savarez is not a boomy as D'Addario Pro Arte normal tension but there is a nice balance in the set. I really love the action height the guitar is currently set. I probably will not change it. The finish is classy. The packaging was fine. I am amazed that guitars do not get damaged in the two box system. Does not seem that strong overall, but it came here without damages. Day 1 - but I can hardly take the time to write this or step away from playing the Dolce. It does sound remarkably better than my past two classicals, a 1978 Giannini AWN-21 (it was likely still a 3/4 or 7/8), and full size classical 1980 Yamaha G-231. Both of those were nicely made, but one was twangy and had poor intonation and the other was a little muffled. I feel as though this new one has excellent projection and volume for its size and the intonation of notes are clean sounding between frets and combined in chords. Bottom line is I really like my Dolce purchase. Collin was my sales advisor and I got a nice President's Day sale discount. The guitar arrived in 3 days after order.

  • I would buy this product again.

    Cordoba Dolce 7/8 -- Very nice guitar, very good craftsmanship, 630 mm scale perfect for someone with small hands, guitar sounds very close to a full size guitar only much comfortable to play if you have small hands, Will get the more expensive Cordoba 7/8 630 mm guitar next.
