Player's Perspective
Here's a unique offering from Córdoba - this gorgeous España 45 Limited, which, as the name implies, is handmade in Spain.
At first glance, it may seem like a typically constructed (albeit beautiful in any case) classical instrument, with a spruce top and ebony fretboard on a traditional body style, but turn the guitar around and you'll see the truly unique qualities this guitar has - a gorgeous black and white ebony body. This is unique not only tonally, as ebony is known for being a bright, resonant wood with fast attack, but the grain pattern is unlike anything you've ever seen on a guitar, especially a classical one. The neck profile is very comfortable and familiar, and the excellent fretwork is par for the course for a handmade Córdoba guitar.
This is truly a discerning player's instrument!
