Premium Tonewoods at a Great Price

You can count on the Cordoba C7 SP/IN nylon-string acoustic guitar for rich tone and handbuilt quality. The Cordoba C7 SP/IN is a fine value in a nylon-string instrument. The handmade C7 SP/IN sports Indian rosewood back and sides with a European spruce top, for vibrant tones with a lively presence. And the solid mahogany neck provides excellent sustain and detail. No matter what your experience level, you'll love the attention to detail and excellent playability of the C7 SP/IN. And with the gloss polyurethane finish, Indian rosewood binding, and a stylish rosette, the Cordoba C7 SP/IN looks as good as it plays.

Traditional Design

The Cordoba C7 SP/IN doesn't skimp on construction. The C7 SP/IN features traditional handmade classical guitar design, including the solid European spruce top and Spanish-style fan bracing. Fan bracing is preferred for classical guitars over lattice bracing, as it allows the guitar's top to vibrate more freely while still providing evenly balanced tone.

Quality Tonewoods

While the Cordoba C7 SP/IN is inexpensive, Cordoba did not sacrifice quality materials. The Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid European spruce top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the spruce top. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete the elegant look.

Great Look, Great Playability

The Cordoba C7 SP/IN is a joy to simply look at, from the detailed rosette inlay and Indian rosewood binding to the gold tuners with pearl buttons. And you'll love how the gloss finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and solid European spruce top. But looks aren't everything - the C7 SP/IN was designed with playability in mind, and the great look is just the icing on the classical cake.

Cordoba C7 SP/IN Nylon-string Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Great-sounding guitar at an amazing price
  • Traditional Spanish fan bracing provides a balanced, lively sound
  • Indian Rosewood back and sides for full-bodied frequency response
  • Solid European spruce top for excellent definition and projection

Incredible Value

The C7 is a beautifully built and great sounding instrument. The attention to detail on this guitar is flawless and it sounds great as well. It is extremely resonant and easily compares to guitars I have played costing 2-3 times the price.

Please keep in mind that the guitar may require a setup from a professional as my guitar's action was very high when I received it, the nut and bridge required some adjustments, which left me wondering exactly what the 55 point inspection involved.

Either way, even after a trip to a luthier, this guitar was a STEAL. If you need a great classical guitar and don't want to break the bank, click on "BUY"

Great value for beginner - lower intermediate guitarist

For the money, I doubt you'll find a better guitar. If you're an intermediate player who can't afford to get a C10+ guitar or you're a beginner that's serious about learning, this is for you.

I took a star off because one of the frets (7th or 8th one) isn't seated properly and makes the d string buzz when fretted on the 7th fret.



Pros:

The guitar looks amazing.

The bass is full. Most likely because of the layered rosewood sides.

The trebles are clear. Most likely because of the spruce top.

Trussrod adjustment!

Action was pretty good out of the box



Cons:

Came with fret buzz on a single fret, so I need to file down/reset a fret to make my d string not buzz on the 7th fret.

You have to buy a gig bag separately.

Good value

This is my first guitar, so I don't really have anything to compare it with, but it seems to be well-built and nicely finished. It will sound better when I'm better!

I bought it based on on-line reviews and pricing. I wanted something other than a cheap guitar that I wouldn't immediately outgrow.

The sales staff at Sweetwater was very helpful and knowledgable. They made me feel like a valued customer, and followed up with a phone call and email just to make sure I was satisfied. That is great customer service!

Absolutely love this guitar!

I bought a C3M last year to get back into some nylon strings. I fell in love with the guitar so much that I pushed through learning "Rio Ancho." After 1 year, I wanted more so I gave my C3M to my niece and upgraded to the C7 spruce top. Greatest decision ever. Not only is my niece in love with her new C3M, but I am blown away at the sound and playability of my C7. Sweetwater's setup was fabulous as always, the guitar is in perfect condition, and the tone of this guitar is amazing. The harmonics ring out clearly, there is no buzz on the neck, and the action is perfect. I love everything about this guitar.

Wow! Amazing Guitar ...BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

We have a c3 and c5 in our family (as well as Martin and Taylor Steel String guitars) and my teen children wanted a classical guitar that is a bit more special for school concerts and recitals. We loved this Cordoba series so much that we decided to purchase a C7 Spruce Natural. This instrument is absolutely beautiful and plays like a guitar 3x its price. It is beautifully finished and plays well right out of the box. I can't say enough great things about this Cordoba series of guitars. Do your self a favor and buy one. I would recommend this instrument for intermediate to advanced level players looking for a well made, great sounding, good looking guitar.
