Cordoba Protege C1 Matiz Classical Guitar

Traditional nylon acoustic guitar with a modern touch.

Bring your music to life in full color with the Protg C1 Matiz classical, a fresh take on the traditional aesthetic of the nylon guitar. The Protg C1 Matiz combines maple accents and traditional tonewoods in four eye-catching colors: Aqua, Coral, Pale Sky and Classic Blue. Its spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide the projection and warmth associated with a nylon-string guitar, while the maple headplate, bridge and full-scale fretboard give the C1 Matiz an all-new look with a lively tonal response. A satin polyurethane finish provides a layer of protection against nicks and scratches, while the ghost rosette, designed after Cordoba’s traditional wood rosette, allows the eye-catching colored tops of the C1 Matiz to shine through and take center stage. This guitar comes with a color-matched gig bag made of recycled nylon, so you can rest easy knowing your instrument is protected in responsible and sustainable fashion.
