Overview

A thinbody classical guitar for comfy upper-fret reach.

The Cordoba C1M-CET thinbody classical acoustic-electric guitar offers a comfortable playing position and clear, balanced tone for practice, lessons, and small amplified settings. A spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide consistent response across fingerstyle and light strumming, while the thinline cutaway body keeps the instrument close and easy to handle. The slim C-shaped neck and pau ferro fingerboard support controlled movement across the fretboard, and the matte finish maintains a smooth, predictable feel during extended sessions.

Thinbody Design and Neck Profile

The reduced body depth makes the guitar easier to hold for longer sessions, especially when seated. A slim C-shaped neck and flat pau ferro fingerboard support clean movement across the fretboard, helping chord shapes and scale work feel more controlled. The cutaway allows access to higher frets without shifting posture, keeping movement efficient across the full range of the instrument.

GP-2 Pickup System With Accessible Controls

The built-in GP-2 pickup system allows quick connection to a PA or amp for lessons, rehearsals, or small performances. Side-mounted volume and tone controls are easy to reach without interrupting playing, making it simple to adjust output or brightness as needed. The system maintains the instrument’s natural tone while providing a practical amplification option.

Lightweight Build for Daily Use

A lightweight construction, matte finish, and stable tuning machines make the C1M-CET easy to handle from session to session. The adjustable truss rod supports setup changes, and the included strings maintain consistent tension during regular practice. The Cordoba C1M-CET thinbody classical acoustic-electric guitar is a straightforward option for players who need a reliable instrument for everyday use.
