CÓRDOBA RELEASES FIRST LINE OF STEEL STRING GUITARS New Acero Series Incorporates Spanish Building Techniques
SANTA MONICA, CA – Córdoba Guitars is proud to launch the Acero series, their first steel string line comprised of six dreadnought models. Córdoba approached these guitars from a classical guitar building perspective, using a Spanish heel neck joint along with a hybrid Spanish fan and X-bracing pattern. These design features offer a lighter weight and more stable heel joint that increases resonance. The hybrid fan/X- bracing pattern allows the top to move freely with an explosive attack and rich, warm tone reminiscent of a nylon string guitar. Each model is built with either a solid Sitka spruce or solid Engelmann spruce top, with the options of solid mahogany, solid rosewood, or solid acacia back and sides. Select models feature the Acoustic Fidelity System (AFS), Córdoba’s new proprietary pickup that offers both piezo and mic blending capabilities.
The Acero Series Lineup: D9 – Street $699 D9-CE – Street $849 D10 – Street $849 D10-CE – Street $999 D11 – Street $899 D11-CE – Street $1049

CÓRDOBA ROUNDS OUT 30 SERIES UKULELES WITH CUTAWAY-ELECTRIC OPTIONS Córdoba’s All Solid “Miniature Guitars” are Now Stage-Ready
SANTA MONICA, CA – Building on the success of the four all-solid 30 Series tenor ukuleles, Córdoba has launched a cutaway-electric version of each model, fitted with an LR Baggs Five.O pickup. Just like their full body counterparts, these ukuleles were designed in conjunction with renowned luthier Pepe Romero, Jr., and are built more like small classical guitars than traditional ukuleles. Other features of Córdoba’s 30 Series ukuleles include a Spanish heel neck joint, fan bracing, wider fingerboard, and deeper and wider body, which unite to form an extremely lightweight ukulele with incredible projection. Entirely handmade, the 30 Series are Córdoba’s first ukuleles featuring twelve frets to the body rather than fourteen. This creates greater movement of the soundboard, greater resonance and volume, and a warm, balanced tone. Widely regarded as the best ukulele pickup on the market, the LR Baggs Five.O is like a miniaturized version of their award-winning Element pickup, and also includes a soundhole mounted volume control and miniature endpin preamp. Each 30 Series ukulele features premium all solid woods, an abalone rosette, Grover tuning machines, and includes a durable Córdoba polyfoam case.
The 30 Series Lineup: 30T – Street $499 30T-CE – Street $649 32T – Street $549 32T-CE – Street $699 35T – Street $599 35T-CE – Street $749 35TS – Street $599 35TS-CE – Street $749
