The Cordoba Luthier Select Friederich is a stunning classical guitar handcrafted in small batches by a team of elite luthiers. Inspired by renowned luthier Daniel Friederich and legendary French luthier Robert Bouchet, the Friederich brings new life to the designs that shaped the modern nylon-string guitar. Its solid Canadian cedar top and solid rosewood back and sides produce a balanced blend of bright highs, warm mids and powerful lows. An ultrathin polyurethane finish protects the delicate instrument without dampening its rich resonance.

Iconic Design and Premium Components

The Friederich's iconic design begins with Daniel Friederich's 7-fan bracing pattern and hand-carved spruce braces, which fortify its robust bass response and projection. An intricate wood rosette and carved headstock pay homage to Bouchet's distinctive style. Premium rosewood binding, tuners and bridge complete the elegant aesthetic.

Vibrant, Balanced Tone From Solid-Wood Construction

A solid Canadian cedar top and solid rosewood back and sides give the Friederich a vibrant, balanced tone with articulate highs, warm mids and a powerful low end. Its construction produces a silky, responsive voice that projects clearly in any setting. An ultrathin polyurethane finish protects the delicate tonewoods without dampening resonance or vibration.

Meticulous Craftsmanship and Premium Appointments

As part of Cordoba's Luthier Select series, the Friederich represents the pinnacle of instrument design and fine craftsmanship. Handcrafted in small batches by a team of elite luthiers, each guitar is carefully constructed and finished to exacting standards. Premium components like an intricate wood rosette, rosewood binding and tuners demonstrate a meticulous attention to detail.

Included Accessories

The Friederich includes a deluxe humidified archtop wood case to properly protect and care for your investment.

    I've had this guitar for about 5 months before I decided to write a review. They say the best guitar is the one that you play. This instantly became the one that I reach for everyday. I can't say enough good things about this guitar. The tone is absolutely beautiful and rich.

  • I would buy this guitar again if I ever lost this one.

    I play everything from classical to tango on this instrument and it always delights. When I first began playing it I thought, "Where have you been all my life?" I play it daily along with my Hauser copy. Two totally different personalities but equally lovable.
