Traditional Craftsmanship

Nylon string guitars are built more lightly than steel string guitars, allowing the soundboard to vibrate and resonate more freely. The fan bracing pattern gives the center of the soundboard more surface area to vibrate, and respond to the tension of the strings. A more responsive soundboard makes the guitar louder, and provides better tone. Like all Cordoba guitars, the C9 comes equipped with a lightweight, two-way truss rod that allows you to adjust the amount of relief in the guitar”s neck.
