Description
Initially released in the late '90s as their first guitar, Cordoba's FCWE is a phenomenal classical acoustic that's part of music history. With its top-notch tonewoods and slim Thinbody design, this acoustic projects a brilliant tone with crystal-clear highs and a fast attack, the perfect combination for classical and flamenco guitarists. This updated model features a Fishman Prefix Problend pickup system, making it an excellent choice for musicians seeking a versatile nylon-string acoustic that can keep up with bands and ensembles.
The FCWE is a masterfully built acoustic, handcrafted in Spain with classic building techniques. Guitarists will appreciate its traditional Spanish-style fan bracing that allows the soundboard to resonate freely, enhancing its volume and low-end response. They'll also love its solid European spruce top and Spanish cypress body, which gives it a gorgeous sound that's bright, articulate, and breathes life into every note.
Cordoba equipped the FCWE with an advanced Fishman Prefix Problend pickup system that gives it an incredible amplified voice. This system pairs an internal microphone with a piezo pickup, allowing players to experiment with a wide range of exceptional tones. Whether you prefer the brilliance and clarity of the piezo pickup, the warmth and woodiness of the internal mic, or something in between, the Problend system has exactly what you need to find your dream tone.
Adorned with premium gold tuners, a 19-fret ebony fingerboard, and a traditional all-wood rosette, the Cordoba FCWE is a gorgeous guitar that perfectly walks the line between elegant and understated. And don't worry about buying a case separately when purchasing the FCWE - it ships in a heavy-duty Humicase Protégé Thinbody Classical case that offers ample protection.
Please reach out if you've been searching for an outstanding classical acoustic guitar with a clean, classic aesthetic and a bright, clear voice!
