Styled in a high gloss finish, the Iberia Series C5 from Cordoba is a nylon-string classical guitar with a solid, Canadian cedar top, and mahogany back and sides. Its body is constructed utilizing traditional Spanish fan bracing, and also features aesthetic touches such as Indian rosewood binding and an inlaid wood mosaic rosette around the soundhole.

The neck, measuring 25.6” in scale, is constructed out of mahogany and sports a rosewood fingerboard with 19 frets, and mother-of-pearl side dot marker inlays at the fifth, seventh, and ninth frets for easier visual orientation. At the headstock, Cordoba gold tuning machines with pearl buttons secure the strings, providing a gear ratio of 14:1, and a string roller spacing of 35mm. An Indian rosewood bridge anchors your strings to the body, and a bone nut and saddle offer additional resonance and tonal clarity.

With features such as these, this instrument is suitable for beginners and seasoned classical guitarists alike.
