Cordoba C1M 3/4 Protégé Series 3/4-Size Nylon-String Classical Guitar (Natural Matte)

Designed for aspiring young classical guitar players and those who’d prefer a slightly smaller instrument, the Protégé Series C1M 3/4 from Cordoba is a 3/4-size nylon-string classical guitar with a natural, matte polyurethane finish. It utilizes a traditional classical build with fan bracing, featuring a spruce top with mahogany back and sides. Aesthetics such as a traditional rosette and black ABS binding are also incorporated.

The guitar’s mahogany neck sports a C-shaped profile with a 24.2” scale and a rosewood fingerboard offering 19 frets. At the headstock, Cordoba gold tuning machines with pearl buttons secure the strings, providing a gear ratio of 14:1 and a string-roller spacing of 35mm. A rosewood bridge anchors the strings to the body. An adjustable dual-action truss rod is also included to help keep the neck straight.
