Based on one of the most-heard classical guitars ever created





Cordoba has re-created one of the most-heard classical guitars in the world, the 1937 Hauser favored by the late Andres Segovia. Made by German guitar builder Hermann Hauser, the 1937 original was played by Andres Segovia for countless concerts and recording sessions. Essentially, it's the guitar that proved to the world that a nylon-string guitar is a capable concert instrument.





Designed for expressive, nuanced playing





Guitarists at Sweetwater understand that with nylon-string guitar, your tonal range should only be limited by your playing technique. Depending on how you play the Cordoba Hauser can sound soft and sweet, bold and intense, or anything in between. Moving your right hand over the sound hole adds a warm, subdued glow to your tone. From dynamics to tonal character, you have full control over the sound of the Cordoba Hauser.





Premium tonewoods deliver rich tone





You'll love the rich, full tone of the Cordoba Hauser Master Series Classical's premium tonewoods. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid Engelmann spruce top, giving you the perfect balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is solid Spanish cedar, for maximum transfer of string energy to the top. An ebony fingerboard and Indian rosewood bridge complete the elegant look.
