Cordoba C10 Crossover Overview
Styled in a high-gloss finish, the Cordoba Crossover Series C10 is a nylon-string classical guitar, which combines the focused, clarion tone of a Spruce cedar top with Indian rosewood in the back and sides. This construction imparts a clearer, more pointed response over classical guitars utilizing a solid cedar top.
The instrument’s mahogany neck, measuring 25.6” in scale, is outfitted with an ebony fingerboard and set to the neck in a Spanish heel joint. 19 frets are provided in total with side-position inlays at the fifth, seventh, and ninth fret for easier visual orientation. The 4mm truss rod is accessible for ensuring that your neck stays straight, and a bone nut has been employed to bolster sustain and resonance on open strings. With a radiused fingerboard, a C-shaped neck profile, and a thinner nut width when compared to other C10 models, the C10 Crossover is a suitable choice for guitarists who seek to balance the tone and sound of a well-made classical instrument with the feel of a steel-string acoustic.
Aesthetic touches abound, such as six-ply colored-wood top purfling, three-ply maple and ebony back-and-side purfling, and Indian rosewood binding. A rosewood bridge affixes strings to the body, while at the headstock, Cordoba Premium Gold Tuning Machines with black, ebony-style buttons have been employed. These tuning machines sport a gear ratio of 14:1 for precise tuning, giving you a string-roller spacing of 35mm. A Cordoba Polyfoam Case is included with the instrument, to help it stay protected from harsh interior conditions when not in use.
