Cordoba 55FCE Negra Ziricote Spanish Classical Acoustic Electric Guitar, New HumiCase

The 55FCE Negra adds exotic ziricote back and sides to the popular stage-ready 55FCE. The handcrafted 55FCE Negra's thin, feedback-resistant body makes this Spanish-made guitar an essential tool in the gigging musician's arsenal. The chosen guitar of the Gipsy Kings, its solid European spruce top is paired with ziricote, which provides a rich, smooth sound that fills a room.

With its Fishman Prefix ProBlend onboard electronics and thinbody design, the 55FCE Negra is ready to combat feedback when the guitar is amplified at high volumes. Low action, little relief in the neck, and a two-way truss rod keep this guitar comfortable and easy to play. Other premium features include a Spanish cedar neck, ebony fingerboard, Indian rosewood binding and bridge, a clear flamenco-style tap plate, and Savarez Cristal Corum strings. Comes in a humidified Humicase Protege case.

This guitar went from the factory to their authorized refurbisher, where it received a full multi-point inspection and expert setup - it is ready to play! No visible repairs were necessary, and no modifications were made except the back of the headstock was stamped USED. I acquired this guitar from the refurbisher, and there has been no other owner. This LIKE NEW guitar has not been played except for setup and testing.

Check-out the videos on YouTube and more information on the company website. This is a Great guitar at a Great Price!

Enjoy!
