The all-solid C9 Crossover offers a new spin on a Córdoba classic. Built with solid Canadian cedar top and solid mahogany back and sides, this nylon-string guitar's main standout feature is its steel-string style neck. A reduced 48mm nut width, 16" radius fingerboard, and thin-profiled hand-carved mahogany neck will feel familiar for steel-string or electric players who are just getting into nylon-string guitar.

Design Features
Construction
Like its sister model (C9), the C9 Crossover is built with a traditional Spanish fan bracing and Spanish heel construction to allow for a responsive soundboard and full vibration throughout the entire body. The C9 Crossover has a radiused fingerboard for the comfortable playability of an electric or steel string guitar, and also includes modern features such as a two-way truss rod for long-term neck stability.
Aesthetics
Delicate aesthetic touches like its 1920s-inspired pearloid rosette add a touch of vintage elegance. Other stand-out features such as a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, red purfling, high gloss finish, Savarez Cristal Corum strings, and a lightweight polyfoam case makes this a Córdoba best-seller and a guitar you’ll play for a lifetime.
