Based on Cordoba's bestselling C5 model, this left-handed version features a solid western red cedar top paired with a mahogany back and sides, delivering a rich, well-rounded sound with exceptional sustain. The addition of a soft cutaway enhances access to higher frets, making it ideal for intricate melodies or upper-register chord work. Equipped with Fishman Presys II electronics, this acoustic-electric is stage-ready, offering reliable amplified performance with onboard tone controls. Beautiful touches like the hand-inlaid wood rosette and glossy polyurethane finish give the C5-CE an elegant aesthetic that complements its robust functionality. With its premium craftsmanship, timeless tone and accessible price point, this guitar is built for both beginners and seasoned players looking for a high-quality nylon-string option. Solid Cedar Top for Rich Tonality The Cordoba C5-CE left-handed guitar features a solid western red cedar top—a tonewood prized for its warm, responsive character. The cedar top enhances the guitar's natural resonance, producing a full-bodied sound with clear highs and balanced mids, making it ideal for classical and fingerstyle techniques. Combined with a fan bracing pattern, the top delivers excellent projection and sustain while maintaining tonal clarity. Whether played acoustically or amplified, the cedar top ensures a rich, expressive sound that will inspire any musician. The solid construction also contributes to the guitar's ability to mature tonally over time, offering lasting value. Mahogany Back and Sides for Balanced Warmth The mahogany back and sides of this nylon-string guitar complement the cedar top by adding depth and warmth to its tonal profile. Mahogany is known for its ability to produce a balanced sound with strong midrange frequencies, making it an excellent choice for nylon-string instruments. The lightweight nature of mahogany contributes to the overall comfort of the guitar, ensuring long practice or performance sessions remain enjoyable. Paired with the solid cedar top, the C5-CE's mahogany body enhances sustain and tonal depth, providing a rich acoustic experience for players seeking a versatile classical guitar. Fishman Presys II Electronics for Stage and Studio Outfitted with Fishman Presys II electronics, the C5-CE offers seamless amplified performance for live gigs or studio recordings. The undersaddle piezo pickup captures the instrument's natural warmth and resonance, while the onboard preamp provides essential controls for volume, bass, treble and phase adjustment. A built-in tuner ensures quick and accurate tuning, whether preparing for a performance or fine-tuning in the studio. The electronics system is powered by a 9V battery housed in a convenient lower bout compartment, ensuring reliable functionality. With intuitive controls and consistent sound quality, the Presys II enhances the guitar's versatility for any amplified application. Elegant Design With Durable Construction Designed with durability and aesthetic appeal in mind, the Cordoba C5-CE features high-quality materials and refined details. The mahogany neck is topped with a pau ferro fingerboard, offering a smooth playing surface and stable intonation. The dovetail neck joint ensures structural integrity, while the glossy polyurethane finish protects the guitar from wear and tear. Decorative touches like the hand-inlaid wood rosette and pearl-white tuning machine buttons enhance the instrument's visual appeal, making it stand out in both casual and professional settings. Built for lasting performance, the C5-CE is ideal for players seeking a reliable acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar.
