The Cordoba C3M is an inviting introduction to the classical world, built around a solid Mahogany top with mahogany back and sides for a warm, woody tone that is easy on the ear and the hands. Traditional fan bracing and a comfortable Spanish-style neck encourage proper classical technique, while a hand-inlaid rosette and satin finish give the C3M a refined look beyond its student price. It is a thoughtful first classical guitar for beginning players.
