Cordoba C12 Classical, Solid Cedar

Full Description

Resonant acoustic tones

This acoustic guitar boasts a solid Western red cedar top, a tonewood known for its warm and mellow qualities. This material is highly responsive and produces rich, complex tones that are perfect for classical music. As a softwood, it's lighter in weight than spruce, resulting in a more delicate and nuanced sound. what’s more, its low density also means it has a fast attack and quick decay, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle playing.

This is complemented by a solid rosewood/maple, both of which provide the guitar with a unique and distinct sound. Rosewood is dense, delivering strong, bright tones with excellent sustain. It's known for its high-end shimmering quality and clear definition, making it perfect for classical guitarists. On the other hand, maple produces bright, snappy harmonics with a pronounced mid-range and tight lows. This is highly reflective and is known for its clarity and projection. Not only that, but its qualities make it an excellent choice for fingerpicking and strumming, providing a sweet sound that is both articulate and musical.

Sleek, smooth, and stylish playing

The C12 is a guitar that is designed with the player in mind, offering maximum playability to performers of all levels. The raised fingerboard feature allows for effortless access to the upper frets, which is particularly helpful for those who love to play intricate solos or complex chords high up on the fingerboard. This also allows you to extend your playing range and explore new tonal possibilities. What's more, the 52mm nut width and 25.6'' scale length enhance its playability, providing more space between the strings and making it easier to fret notes and chords without accidentally touching adjacent strings. The longer scale length also provides more tension, resulting in a better tonal quality and projection.

But it's not just the carefully contoured materials that enhance the playing feel, the dual-action truss rod allows for precise adjustments, ensuring that the C12 is set up exactly to your specifications. This is especially important for classical guitarists who demand a high level of accuracy and precision in their playing. With this, you can adjust the neck relief to achieve your desired action and playability. The durable ebony fingerboard with nineteen frets provides ample space for complex playing. Ebony is known for its durability and resistance to wear, making it an ideal material for the fingerboard. The nineteen frets also allow for a broader tonal range, providing more opportunities for creative expression. The C12 is the perfect performance companion.

Keep your instrument in pristine condition

Alongside your C12 acoustic, you are also provided with a humidified archtop wood case, which offers excellent protection and convenience for musicians on the go. This is designed to fit the guitar perfectly, providing a secure and snug fit that prevents any damage from occurring during transport. It is constructed from high-quality materials, including a durable outer shell and dense polyfoam padding that absorbs shocks and impacts.
