Premium Tonewoods at a Great Price

Enjoy rich tone and handbuilt quality with the Cordoba C7! The Cordoba C7 is a fine value in a nylon-string acoustic guitar. The handmade C7 sports Indian rosewood back and sides with a Canadian red cedar top, for vibrant tones with a lively presence. And the solid mahogany neck provides excellent sustain and detail. No matter what your experience level, you'll love the attention to detail and excellent playability of the C7. And with the gloss polyurethane finish, Indian rosewood binding, and a stylish rosette, the Cordoba C7 looks as good as it plays.

Traditional Design

The Cordoba C7 doesn't skimp on construction. The C7 features traditional handmade classical guitar design, including the solid Canadian red cedar top (choice top wood for classical guitars) and Spanish-style fan bracing. Fan bracing is preferred for classical guitars over lattice bracing, as it allows the guitar's top to vibrate more freely while still providing evenly balanced tone.

Quality Tonewoods

While the Cordoba C7 is inexpensive, Cordoba did not sacrifice quality materials. The Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid cedar top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the cedar top. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete the elegant look.

Great Look, Great Playability

The Cordoba C7 is a joy to simply look at, from the detailed rosette inlay and Indian rosewood binding to the gold tuners with pearl buttons. And you'll love how the gloss finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and red cedar top. But looks aren't everything - the C7 was designed with playability in mind, and the great look is just the icing on the classical cake.

Cordoba C7 Nylon-string Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Great-sounding guitar at an amazing price
  • Traditional Spanish fan bracing provides a balanced, lively sound
  • Indian Rosewood back and sides for full-bodied frequency response
  • Canadian red cedar top for excellent definition and projection

Beautiful top notch

This is a beautiful guitar. The sound is absolutely amazing. I was happy to see Sweetwater packed it well and it arrived in mint condition . Their sales team checked up on me several times without being annoying. John McWhirter was wonderful to work with. The Craftsmanship of the guitar is second to none. I highly recommend Sweetwater and Cordoba guitars for your next music purchase.

Great guitar, great value.

Just got my C7 from Sweetwater with the intention of learning Jobim. The guitar is light, it's beautiful, fantastic build quality and it sounds great.
Rated 5/5

5 Stars

I have been playing an old Takamine G128S for a few years, I even had bone nut/bridge put on it, which improved it somewhat, I finally decided to class it up a little. I have had Cordoba's before, the lower end models. I went with the C7, and I wish I had done it already This guitar is just beautifully made, and the sound is so much better than what I had. I am pushing 70, and the sound I get from this thing has given me a new interest in learning classical guitar. I am hoping that when I get to 70, I will be able to go to a C9 at least. Do not fear buying these things from Sweetwater-you cannot go wrong, they check every guitar they get before they sell it.

CORDOBA C7 AND SWEETWATERS SERVICES

The Cordoba C7 is everything I've been looking for in a nylon string guitar. A great balanced classical guitar with high action, yet easy to play, rich sound, everlasting sustain, booming sound, no twang. The sound of a cedar top is unbelievable i am VERY impressed. Its just what the Doctor ordered, if you're a classical player this is what you have been looking for.

I'm very wary of trusting online companies with my money but it was very secure, I will be shopping here from now on. Also, I couldnt afford a case for this but have no fear they packaged this baby up really well no a ding or scratch.

and BTW THANKS GUYS I LOVE IT!!!!!
