Cordoba Guitars was founded in 1997 by Tim Miklaucic, a leading nylon string expert who studied classical guitar under the guidance of his mentor, Celin Romero. His vision was simple; to preserve, nurture and continue the evolution of the nylon-strung guitar by building on the techniques of early master luthiers and adding modern developments.
The main headquarters and factory is located in Oxnard, California where the Cordoba Master Series is hand-crafted. Cordoba’s España Series is handmade in Valencia and Barcelona while the Iberia, Fusion, Luthier, and Protege Series as well as all ukuleles are handmade in China. Cordoba takes pride in using materials sourced from woods certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), an organisation that addresses issues such as illegal logging and sustainability.
Exposing nylon guitars to a wider audience requires a comprehensive range of instruments that appeals to different players. Many players who play electric and steel-string acoustic guitars often find themselves in situations where nylon is needed, but often struggle with the wide nut width and neck profiles on traditional classical guitars. Cordoba have addressed this issue with a number of their guitars including the Cordoba C9 Crossover Cedar which features a narrower nut more akin to that of a steel string acoustic.
