Best of Both Worlds!

The Cordoba C9 Crossover nylon-string acoustic guitar was built to give you the best of two playing worlds. With classic styling and build you'll experience the sound and quality you've come to expect from Cordoba with the C9 Crossover. The cedar and mahogany tonewood combination sounds warm and clear while the thinner, carved neck and radiused fingerboard offer a fast and smooth playing experience. If you've been looking for a classical sound with rock playability, the Cordoba C9 Crossover is the guitar you've been searching for!

Fusion neck

The Cordoba C9 Crossover Fusion neck design makes classical guitar tone accessible for those players who don't typically play in the classical style. The smaller nut width on the hand-carved neck coupled with a radiused playing area makes it easier to reach every note. Topped off with a rosewood fingerboard, you'll be playing as fast as you do on your usual guitar in no time! The C9 Crossover gives you the opportunity to experience classical guitar sound without having to play an actual classical guitar.

Tonewood combination

The C9 Crossover's playability couples with tone. Cordoba's choice of Cedar and mahogany give the C9 a sweet, warm sound. The solid Canadian Cedar top provides plenty of pluck for your fingerstyle licks while the mahogany back and sides balance the tone by adding warmth and fullness. The mahogany Fusion neck gives you sustain for days and plays ever-so-fast with the rosewood fingerboard.

Classic looks and build

The C9 Crossover is a member of Cordoba's Luthier series of exceptional guitars. With its orchestra body shape, hand-inlaid vintage design ebony and mother-of-pearl rosette, and natural high gloss finish the C9 Crossover looks as good as it sounds. Traditional Spanish fan bracing and quality materials means you'll love playing this guitar for years to come!

Goldilocks

I have two other guitars, a traditional classical and a steel string acoustic. Since receiving this crossover my other instruments sit neglected in their cases. The nut width of the crossover is exactly midway between my other two: not too wide, not too narrow. It is so comfortable to play, I cannot put it down. Wonderful for fingerstyle, it is surprisingly bright and loud. Exactly what I wanted. Out of the box, the neck relief was perfect. The action appears to be set according to Cordoba's specifications. See photo. The action might seem high for steel string players, but keep in mind that nylon strings need more room to vibrate. Still there is room for adjustment. I strongly suggest you have Sweetwater do it, because if you're like me, once you receive your new guitar, you won't want to let go of it to have it set up.
Music background: Playing badly since 1969.

Nice Guitar

I do own a Cordoba C-5 which is a great entry level classical guitar. I have been delving more into nylon guitars, and I wanted an all solid body instrument. I am very pleased with my purchase. The difference in sound between the C-5 and this guitar is amazing. This sounds clear and warm with crazy bass.

This is an entry level all solid wood guitar. Even so, it doesn't dissapoint. My guitar teacher suggested a "crossover" neck which has a slightly narrower, thinner neck and slight radius. This makes it an easy transition from steel stringed acoustics to nylon stringed. The guitar is also very light. The solid foam case it came in is pretty nice, kind of a cross between a hardshell and a gig bag. The finish is beautiful.

The only negatives were grainy frets (I had them polished) and fairly high action, which I had fixed when it was set up.

Shipping was fast and it was well packaged, and we scored a lot of banana Laffy Taffy!

Great guitar

I've been looking at nylon string guitars for a while and finally took the plunge. This is a great little guitar with a nice warm tone and it played fantastic right out of the box.For a serious classical/flamenco player I assume they would want something a bit more specialized? But if its a crossover you are after then no need to look further. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

beautiful body and sound

Played it for 2 seconds and fell in love. It has a warm but clear tone that is truly wonderful. The C and B# on the a string can buzz if I'm not careful but that is as much bad habbit on my end.
Rated 5/5

Very Happy With This Guitar

My first nylon string guitar. Mostly play steel string guitar. Thought I would try something different. I really like the mellow sound and feel of this instrument. The crossover is perfect for us steel string players. Very well made. Very well crafted. Logan was a big help , in helping me make a good choice. I would definitely recommend this guitar .
