Cordoba C5-CET Demo

Cordoba C5-CET Demo

Cordoba

Description

The C5-CET includes the same features as the C5-CE but in a sleek thinline body size. A great guitar for the crossover player looking for a warmer nylon sound, it features a solid Canadian cedar top and mahogany back and sides with a jet black finish. The construction is based upon the traditional Spanish classical guitar with the exception of a soft cutaway and a slightly thinner neck. The Fishman Isys+ 2-band pickup system produces a rich and natural sound when amplified - perfect for gigging and recording. Choose black or natural. Case sold separately.

    This guitar is a great asset for any student or experienced musician who wants a whole lot of sound from a beautiful instrument that is lightweight and easy to carry. The benefit of a thin body with a powered option is a plus. The acoustic sound surpasses many.

  • Beautiful guitar, beautiful sound

    Beautifully made, great quality guitar. Especially love the intricate gold detailing on the side of the neck, as well as the Spanish fan detailing bracing pattern. The sound is unbeatable, and would recommend to anyone looking to pick up a nylon string guitar. Also absolutely love the added Fishman Isys+ 2-band pickup system.

    Great looking guitar, ok paint job (black). Factory setup was terrible, there were scratches and multiple blemishes on face of guitar when I received it, preamp/tuner stopped working correctly after a few weeks. Returning this immediately, very frustrated...

  • A good buy

    Louder than I expected. Quality is all there. Easy to play and needed no adjustments right out of the box.

  • Nice Product! But it requires having a luthier to set it up.
