Cordoba Friederich CD/RW W/C – Concert-Grade Craftsmanship for Classical Excellence

The Cordoba Friederich CD/RW W/C stands as a tribute to the legendary French luthier Daniel Friederich, capturing his distinctive design philosophy in a modern, concert-level classical guitar. This Luthier Select model is meticulously handcrafted in small batches, offering the expressive warmth, rich projection, and refined detail prized by professionals. Upon first play, musicians discover the instrument’s responsiveness, nuanced dynamics, and deep sustain—qualities suited to solo performance and advanced repertoire. More than a guitar, the Cordoba Friederich is a statement for classical guitarists seeking authentic tone and lasting beauty. A soundboard of premium Canadian cedar and Friederich’s unique seven-fan spruce bracing allow the guitar's voice to carry with ease, filling even large halls.

Signature Features: Friederich-Inspired Bracing & Carved Headstock

What distinguishes the Cordoba Friederich CD/RW W/C is its faithful recreation of Friederich’s original 7-fan bracing pattern, delicately hand-carved from spruce. The iconic carved headstock imparts visual distinction and a sense of tradition, while understated rosewood binding and a multi-layered wood rosette embody European classical style.

Soundboard & Bracing – Nuanced Tone and Superior Response

Advanced players benefit from the solid Canadian cedar top, paired with hand-carved seven-fan spruce bracing for warmth, clarity, and projection. Each material is chosen for its tonal properties and ability to transmit subtle expressive details.

• Bracing: Hand-carved spruce, Friederich 7-fan — enhances sustain and projection.
• The ultra-thin polyurethane finish offers protection for the wood while preserving its resonance.

Neck & Playability – Precision for Demanding Technique

The included deluxe humidified archtop case maintains the instrument’s health in any climate.
