Description

The Córdoba Luthier C12 is an all-solid, concert-level classical guitar designed for serious players seeking a refined, modern instrument with traditional roots. Featuring a solid Western Red Cedar top paired with solid rosewood and flamed maple back and sides, lattice bracing and a raised ebony fingerboard, it delivers a rich, responsive voice and superb playability that will inspire for years to come. Every detail of the C12 is crafted with the classical performer in mind. From its Spanish heel construction and comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck to its premium Savarez high tension strings and deluxe humidified archtop wood case, this is a guitar built to perform on stage, in the studio and in the practice room with equal confidence. Modern Concert Performance The C12 sits at the top of Córdoba’s Traditional family, combining time-honoured classical construction with carefully chosen modern enhancements. Its 650 mm scale length, 52 mm nut width and 12-fret-to-body design will feel instantly familiar to classical players, while the raised fingerboard and lattice bracing bring extra comfort and projection for demanding repertoire. Rich, Responsive Cedar Tone A solid Western Red Cedar top gives the C12 a warm, open and immediate response that rewards a nuanced right-hand technique. Cedar’s natural sensitivity makes it ideal for expressive, lyrical playing, allowing you to explore a wide dynamic range from the lightest pianissimo to a full, singing forte without losing clarity or balance. Lattice Bracing and Raised Fingerboard The lattice bracing pattern helps the top vibrate more freely, increasing volume, sustain and note separation across the entire fingerboard. Combined with the raised ebony fingerboard, which improves access to the upper frets, the C12 feels agile and responsive under the fingers, making advanced pieces, extended positions and high-register passages easier to execute cleanly. Elegant Luthier Detailing Visually, the C12 is every bit as impressive as it sounds. The solid rosewood back is accented by a striking flamed maple centre wedge and matching maple binding, while the hand-inlaid 1920s-inspired pearloid rosette and mother of pearl headstock logo add a touch of vintage sophistication. These refined details underline the luthier-grade craftsmanship and make the instrument as beautiful to look at as it is to play. Key Features All-Solid Tonewoods – A solid Western Red Cedar top with solid rosewood and flamed maple back and sides delivers a rich, complex tone that will continue to open up over time. The all-solid construction enhances resonance, projection and sustain, giving you a responsive instrument that grows with your playing. Lattice Bracing for Power and Clarity – The lattice bracing pattern supports the cedar top while allowing it to move more freely, increasing volume and dynamic headroom. This design offers excellent note separation and balance across the strings, ideal for intricate classical pieces and detailed fingerstyle work. Raised Ebony Fingerboard – The raised fingerboard improves access to the upper frets and provides a comfortable, modern playing feel. Combined with the smooth ebony surface and precise fretwork, it makes advanced techniques and high-register passages easier to play cleanly and accurately. Deluxe Humidified Archtop Wood Case – Supplied with a Córdoba deluxe humidified archtop wood case, the C12 is protected at home and in transit. The included case helps maintain a stable environment for the all-solid woods, supporting long-term reliability and preserving the guitar’s tone and appearance.
