Full Description
View Full DescriptionModern feel for nylon-style tone
The Cordoba Luthier C9 Crossover Classical Acoustic Guitar is designed to provide the tonal warmth and expressive character of a classical guitar with the comfortable feel of a modern instrument. One of its standout features is the crossover neck design, which blends the familiarity of a steel-string acoustic or electric neck with the voice of a nylon-string classical guitar. With a narrower 48mm nut width, a slim C-shaped profile, and a 16" radius rosewood fingerboard, the C9 Crossover makes transitioning from other guitar types easy and intuitive. This design allows for more precise fretting and smoother chord changes, especially beneficial for players accustomed to modern neck dimensions. If you enjoy intricate fingerstyle arrangements or expressive melodic lines, the C9 Crossover’s playability removes barriers and invites freedom of expression.
All-solid tonewoods for superior sound
One of the key USPs of the C9 Crossover is its all-solid wood construction, which plays a major role in its rich, articulate sound. A solid Western Red Cedar top is paired with solid African Mahogany back and sides, creating a tone that’s both warm and clear, with excellent balance across the frequency range. Cedar is particularly known for its quick response and strong fundamentals, which makes it a perfect match for fingerstyle playing and dynamic nuances. The mahogany body adds a touch of dryness and focus, giving notes clear definition and tightening the low end. Combined with the traditional Spanish heel neck joint and a 7-fan bracing pattern, the tonewoods work together to produce a resonant and vibrant voice that suits classical, folk, and contemporary styles alike.
Elegant aesthetic and detailed craftsmanship
Crafted with a focus on both form and function, the Cordoba C9 Crossover showcases stunning visual features that reflect its high-end build. The guitar’s rosewood binding and detailed purfling inlays—crafted from padauk, maple and black accents—add tasteful contrast to the natural cedar top. A pearloid Esteso weave rosette decorates the soundhole, while the rosewood headplate and mother-of-pearl Cordoba arches logo on the headstock offer premium finishing touches. These features aren’t just decorative—they’re a testament to Cordoba’s commitment to blending classical guitar tradition with modern design. Every element, from the subtle tail strip to the carefully matched side purfling, is purposefully chosen to enhance both the look and structural integrity of the guitar. It's a visually refined instrument that stands out both onstage and in the studio.
Performance-ready with practical extras
Designed with gigging and travelling musicians in mind, the C9 Crossover includes a lightweight yet durable Cordoba polyfoam case. This offers solid protection while being easy to carry, making the guitar a great choice for life on the move. The instrument comes strung with Savarez Cristal Corum High Tension 500CJ strings—favourites among classical guitarists for their projection and feel. High-ratio 14:1 tuning machines with black buttons offer smooth, precise tuning adjustments, and the dual-action truss rod provides long-term neck stability. With modern functionality and thoughtful extras built in, the C9 Crossover is ready for whatever performance scenario you have in mind, blending dependable features with a timeless, expressive sound that inspires every time you pick it up.
