Description
Bring your music to life in full color with the Protégé C1 Matiz classical, a fresh take on the traditional aesthetic of the nylon guitar. The Protégé C1 Matiz combines maple accents and traditional tonewoods in four eye-catching colors: Aqua, Coral, Pale Sky and Classic Blue. Its spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide the projection and warmth associated with a nylon-string guitar, while the maple headplate, bridge and full-scale fretboard give the C1 Matiz an all-new look with a lively tonal response. A satin polyurethane finish provides a layer of protection against nicks and scratches, while the ghost rosette, designed after Cordoba's traditional wood rosette, allows the eye-catching colored tops of the C1 Matiz to shine through and take center stage. This guitar comes with a color-matched gig bag made of recycled nylon, so you can rest easy knowing your instrument is protected in responsible and sustainable fashion.

    I don't even know where to begin. Everything about this unit was poorly crafted. I was super excited to receive it and expected some setup time. But some of the necessary fixes would have voided the warranty on a brand new guitar. It's a crap shoot getting a good unit. Mostly CRAP!!!

  • Such a beautiful guitar

    My friends are always complementing my guitar and it's sky blue case in school. I like how I can carry a backpack on my back and the guitar on my shoulder because it's super duper light.

  • I love my Cordoba Matis

    Hi. Does this guitar has a Truss rod? If it doesn't how could someone adjust the heigh of the neck? My other question is can I have someone put strap buttons on it?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    1) Yes, it does. 2) The warehouse doesn't do that type of work. You will need to bring it to the store.

    Would this Nylon string guitar be a good guitar for church? I don't plug in in church and my nylon string by Yamaha is a thin body but I wanted a bigger body guitar that produces more sound and that it doesn't sound soft. I need a loud acoustic nylon string guitar. So, would this guitar be good for me for church or should I find something else?

    If you want a loud guitar, a Classical is not what you want. Please see: Mitchell D120 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Black.

    What type of body size is this Protege C1 Matiz guitar? Would this guitar produce better sounding in church? I don't plug my guitars in the sound system at my church but I have a Yamaha acoustic-Electric NT41 which has a thin body which I don't want. I want a full body guitar that can produce lot of sound without plugging in the sound system. Would this Matiz guitar is better or should I look for something else? Could you please point me in the right direction?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    A Classical guitar is 19-1/8" long, 11" wide in the upper bout and 14-1/2' in the lower. It's about 4-1/8" deep. If you want a loud guitar, a Classical is not what you want. Please see: Mitchell D120 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Black

    Hello - I'm looking for an acoustic guitar for my six year old daughter with nylon strings. Is this guitar too large. I think the right size for her would be a half size guitar. Thanks for your help.
