Cordoba Classical Guitars

This innovative company combines current developments in classical guitar lutherie with a reverence for the instrument's history.

Classical guitars have been in the pantheon of music for centuries. Their warm, rich tone -- due in part to nylon strings -- is an integral element of classical, flamenco, folk, and many other genres of music. Also called a “Spanish Guitar,” or a “nylon string guitar,” the modern classical guitar is steeped in tradition.

Cordoba Guitars

A tribute to traditional craftsmanship

Design based on the original

Harkening back to the father of the modern classical acoustic guitar, Antonio de Torres Jurado (1817-1892), the designers at Cordoba base their instruments in the tradition of Spanish Guitar lutherie. With this as a starting point, they have a solid foundation.

Materials are the key

Since its sound is unaffected by outside factors like electronics, the woods and other materials used in a Spanish guitar are critical to the overall tone and performance of the instrument. Top-of-the-line cedar, spruce, maple, ebony, rosewood, and mahogany, as well as bone for nuts and saddles, and other natural materials for inlaid decorations, are all employed on Cordoba guitars.
