AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Cordoba 55FCE Negra Classical Electric Guitar is the gold standard for nylon-string players who demand comfort, tone, and stage-ready electronics. With its thin body design, deep cutaway, and slightly narrower neck, this guitar delivers a familiar and fast-playing feel perfect for crossover players and live performers. Handcrafted in Spain, the 55FCE Negra features a solid European spruce top paired with exotic ziricote back and sides, producing a rich and complex tone with excellent projection—even in a thinbody format.
Designed for the stage, it comes equipped with the Fishman Prefix ProBlend pickup system, offering undersaddle piezo and microphone options for detailed, customisable sound shaping. Indian rosewood binding, ebony/maple purfling, a clear flamenco tap plate, and an elegant gloss finish complete the aesthetic. Whether you’re performing flamenco, Latin jazz, or pop, the 55FCE Negra gives you the tone and versatility to shine on any stage.

Thinbody cutaway design for maximum comfort and feedback resistance
