Cordoba Guitars: The Modern Standard for Nylon String
Cordoba guitars are lightweight, responsive instruments rooted in the Spanish luthier tradition. Every model blends traditional craftsmanship with modern playability, from handmade classical guitars with solid wood tops to the stage-ready nylon-string electric Stage series. At American Musical Supply, we carry Cordoba guitars across their full lineup, including classical, flamenco, fusion, and travel models, all available with 0% interest financing and VERY fast and free shipping.
Cordoba Guitar Series at a Glance
The Iberia series is Cordoba's most accessible line, with handmade guitars featuring solid cedar or spruce tops, mahogany back and sides, and traditional Spanish fan bracing. The Fusion series is designed for steel-string players transitioning to nylon, with a narrower 48mm nut width and a 16-inch radiused fretboard that feels closer to an electric or steel-string neck. The Luthier Select series represents the top of Cordoba's range, handcrafted in small batches by elite luthiers using premium tonewoods. For flamenco, the F7 offers a solid European spruce top with cypress back and sides and installed tap plates.
A Closer Look at Cordoba's Key Series
The Iberia series brings real craftsmanship into an entry-level price range. Models like the C3M and C5 use traditional Spanish fan bracing and hand-inlaid rosettes, while the C5CE adds a cutaway and Fishman pickup for plugged-in versatility. These are handmade guitars that punch well above their price.
The Fusion series bridges the gap between nylon and steel string. Models like the Fusion 5 and Fusion 12 feature side dot position markers, a radiused fretboard, and the narrower nut width that steel-string and electric players are used to. The Fusion 12 Exotic Top adds a solid spruce top with exotic wood veneers and a Fishman Presys Blend pickup for amplified performance.
The Luthier Select series is where Cordoba's heritage meets fine craftsmanship. The Esteso SP pays homage to legendary Spanish luthier Domingo Esteso through hand-carved bracing and premium tonewoods, handcrafted in small batches by a team of elite luthiers.
The Cordoba Stage: Nylon Goes Electric
The Cordoba Stage is the company's first nylon-string electric guitar. Built with a solid, fully chambered mahogany body for reduced weight and feedback resistance, it uses a pickup system co-developed with Fishman to reproduce Cordoba's acoustic nylon-string tone in amplified settings. The result is a nylon-string guitar that works on stage, in the studio, and through a full signal chain without the feedback issues that hollow-body classical guitars face at volume. Available in multiple finishes with a gigbag included, the Stage fills a gap that very few other guitars address.
Finding the Right Cordoba for Your Playing Style
If you’re a classical or fingerstyle player looking for traditional construction and tone, the Iberia and Luthier Select series are your starting points. The wider 52mm nut width and flat fretboard on these models follow classical convention and support proper technique.
If you’re coming from a steel-string or electric guitar and want to explore nylon, the Fusion series bridges that gap with familiar neck dimensions and modern appointments. And if you need a nylon-string guitar that can handle live performance and amplification without compromise, the Stage is built exactly for that purpose.
Cordoba also makes excellent travel-sized guitars like the Mini II MH-CE, which tunes to standard E and includes a pickup and preamp. Browse our full Cordoba selection and pair your guitar with the right classical guitar strings to get the most from your instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cordoba Guitars
Are Cordoba guitars good for beginners?
Yes. The Iberia series offers handmade construction and solid wood tops at accessible prices, making models like the C3M and C5 strong starting points for new classical guitar players.
Can I use steel strings on a Cordoba guitar?
No. Cordoba guitars are designed for nylon strings. Steel strings produce significantly more tension and can damage the neck, top, and bracing of a nylon-string guitar.
What makes the Fusion series different from traditional classical models?
The Fusion series features a narrower 48mm nut width, a 16-inch radiused fretboard, and side dot position markers. These design choices make the neck feel more familiar to steel-string and electric guitar players.
