Presenting the Cordoba C5-CE
A staple in the Iberia series, the C5-CE features a solid Canadian cedar top and mahogany back and sides. The construction is based upon the traditional Spanish classical guitar with the exception of a soft cutaway and a slightly thinner neck. The Fishman Isys+ 2band pickup system produces a rich and natural sound when amplified - perfect for gigging and recording. Handmade in the traditional Spanish style, the C5-CE also features an all wood inlaid rosette, rosewood binding, hand-carved headstock, fan bracing system, and bone nut and saddle.

The best-selling C5-CE follows the style the traditional Spanish build, with the addition of a soft cutaway and Fishman Isys+ pickup, with an onboard tuner. The combination of the solid cedar top with mahogany back and sides gives the C5-CE a warm, round sound.

Beautiful Classical Acoustic-Electric
Before putting this Cordoba guitar on my birthday list (and then managing to "bribe" my wife to make it an early birthday present), I did a significant amount of research on acoustic and acoustic-electric classical instruments with a retail price of $400 or less. Consulting "all the usual suspects" in the world of on-line guitar sales, I concluded that this was the instrument. We first made a stop at a, shall we say, large guitar-focused nationwide chain store within easy driving distance of our house to try instruments. The Cordoba easily held its own or out-and-out outshone others in the price category and even a couple that were more expensive. Since the retailer had only the demo instrument available (having sold out of the boxed Cordoba C5-CEs), my wife bought the floor model at a discount. Otherwise, my research suggests that buying this instrument on-line or in a box at a retailer would likely be safe. Keeping in mind that this was a demonstrator, my Cordoba doesn't have...

deserves a good look
Update 10/27/2012. Still look forward to playing this guitar every day. I still like the EJ45C strings. I play this guitar through an old Crate CA30 acoustic amp and it sounds pretty good. I've sold a few of my guitars last year but will keep this one because it seems the first thing I grab. A C5-CE and an inexpensive entry level acoustic amp is a good start for anyone.
Update 2/4/2012. I have tried several sets of strings on this guitar and the best, by far, is the D'Addario Pro Arte composites EJ45C normal tension. Strings are a personal choice but these really sound bright and liven up the bass sound. I like this guitar more now than when I bought it - for me it's a 5 star.
April 26,2011. Is this a 5 star guitar? A qualified yes.
I've been looking for an electric nylon guitar for some time, I fingerpick folk/rock.
I finally took one of my nylons to a music shop to install a pickup and while it sounds good there are notes which cause the...
Smooth and silky
Been playing guitar since 1961 and I just received this guitar for Christmas. What a great surprise. Plays super smooth, has fantastic low action and a fabulous acoustic sound.Very clean sound on all notes and just the right "acoustic slap" if you strum it hard. In the electric mode the sounds can be manipulated by the EQ's and it sounds real good, very little feedback. The built in tuner is a great thing to have.
Only suggestion is to have strap buttons built in if you want to play it standing up but I am sure my guitar tech can do this with little problem. Makes me want to put aside my electric bass for a while (playing bass since 1964) and have some real neat fun on this great guitar! Good job, fellas!
