Description
The Cordoba F10 is a beautiful all-solid traditional flamenco guitar, suitable for intermediate and professional players. Its European spruce top with cypress back and sides provide a crisp, well-balanced tone with plenty of volume and flamenco growl. It is built with a slightly thinner body than a traditional classical guitar and its flat neck angle creates low action and the quintessential flamenco buzz.

The F10 comes with a clear flamenco-style tap plate and an adjustable two-way truss rod inside the neck for long term stability. As part of the Luthier series, the F10 includes our signature Domingo Esteso pearloid rosette and a lightweight yet durable Córdoba polyfoam case.

Córdoba F10 Flamenco Guitar
The Córdoba F10 Flamenco Guitar embodies the passionate spirit of traditional flamenco, delivering the authentic sound and feel that flamenco guitarists demand. Built with time-honored techniques, this instrument captures the essence of Spanish musical heritage while offering reliable performance for today's musicians.
Traditional Flamenco Construction
Crafted according to Spanish flamenco guitar traditions, the F10 features the distinctive tonal characteristics and playability that define true flamenco instruments. The guitar's construction emphasizes the bright, percussive sound necessary for cutting through in flamenco performances, while maintaining tonal clarity and balance across all registers.
Premium Tonewoods
The Córdoba F10 showcases a solid European spruce top that provides exceptional responsiveness and articulation. Its solid cypress back and sides contribute the distinctive snap and dry character essential to authentic flamenco tone. This carefully selected combination of woods ensures the crisp attack and immediate response that flamenco playing techniques require.
Flamenco-Specific Features
Designed specifically for flamenco performance, the F10 includes a clear golpeador (tap plate) that protects the top while enabling the percussive tapping techniques fundamental to flamenco expression. The guitar's specialized bracing pattern and lower action facilitate the fast, intricate fingerwork that characterizes flamenco music, while its slightly shallower body depth enhances projection and attack.
Expressive Playing Dynamics
The F10 responds beautifully to the full range of flamenco techniques, from delicate picado passages to aggressive rasgueados and golpes. Its voice maintains clarity even during complex rhythmic patterns, allowing the subtle nuances of your playing to shine through. The transparent golpeador provides protection during percussive playing without compromising the guitar's visual appeal or resonance.
Professional Setup
Every Córdoba F10 at XGuitars receives a comprehensive professional setup. Owner Geoff Ferdón personally inspects and sets up each instrument, ensuring optimal playability and performance. This attention to detail means your guitar has been carefully evaluated and adjusted by an experienced professional to meet the specific requirements of flamenco playing.
