Modern elements meet traditional design





Cordoba incorporated a few modern design elements into the C12, giving it a distinct voice and greater playability. The Cordoba C12 features a lattice-braced top. Lattice bracing increases a guitars projection and sensitivity. You'll also enjoy increased access to the upper frets and increased playability from the C12's raised fingerboard.





Premium tonewoods deliver big tone





You'll love the rich, full tone of the Cordoba C12's premium tonewoods. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a flame maple center wedge set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid Canadian cedar top, giving you the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid mahogany, for maximum transfer of string energy to the cedar top. An ebony fingerboard and Indian rosewood bridge complete the elegant look.





Great look, great playability





The Cordoba C12 is gorgeous to simply look at, from the detailed mother-of-pearl "Esteso" rosette inlay and maple binding to the gold tuners with ebony buttons. And you'll love how the gloss lacquer finish shows off the Indian rosewood body and Canadian cedar top. But looks aren't everything, the C12 was designed with playability in mind, and the great look is just the icing on the classical cake.
