Cordoba Espana 45 Limited Classical Nylon String Acoustic Guitar, Black & White Ebony, Spruce Top
Player's Perspective
Here's a unique offering from Córdoba - this gorgeous España 45 Limited, which, as the name implies, is handmade in Spain. At first glance, it may seem like a typically constructed (albeit beautiful in any case) classical instrument, with a spruce top and ebony fretboard on a traditional body style, but turn the guitar around and you'll see the truly unique qualities this guitar has - a gorgeous black and white ebony body. This is unique not only tonally, as ebony is known for being a bright, resonant wood with fast attack, but the grain pattern is unlike anything you've ever seen on a guitar, especially a classical one. Making this truly a player's instrument is the neck profile, which is very comfortable and familiar, and the excellent fretwork, which par for the course for a handmade Córdoba instrument.
Item Specifics
The 45 Limited is handmade in Spain with a solid European spruce top and black and white ebony back and sides, bringing a modern spin and a visually striking look to a classic Spanish design. A unique tonewood, black and white ebony compliments the clear tone of a European spruce top with surprisingly robust bass response and sustain. Premium features include a black and white ebony headplate and heelcap, ebony fingerboard, dual action truss rod, bone nut and saddle, premium gold plated tuning machines, and Savarez strings. Comes in a humidified Humicase Protege case.
