CORDOBA ELEVATES UKULELE LINE WITH GROUND-

BREAKING 30 SERIES Cordoba Collaborates with Luthier Pepe Romero, Jr. to Create New Premium Level

Ukuleles

SANTA MONICA, CA – Cordoba has partnered with renowned luthier Pepe Romero, Jr. to design a

new line of premium all solid ukuleles. Available in four wood combinations, the 30T, 32T, 35T, and

35T S models will hit stores in the first quarter of 2013. Breaking away from the traditional Portuguese

build and ornamentation of their other ukuleles, Cordoba has adopted Romero Jr.’s vision of building

ukuleles as if they were small guitars by using traditional Spanish methods. The result is an incredibly

lightweight tenor ukulele with a deeper and wider body, featuring a Spanish heel neck joint, fan bracing,

and a wider fingerboard for easy playability. Romero Jr.’s ukuleles are currently played by artists such

as Eddie Vedder, Jake Shimabukuro, and Jack Johnson. Entirely handmade, the 30 Series are

Cordoba’s first ukuleles featuring twelve frets to the body rather than fourteen. This creates greater

movement of the soundboard, greater resonance and volume, and a warm, balanced tone. Each model

features an abalone rosette, premium all solid woods, Grover tuning machines, and includes a durable

Cordoba polyfoam case.

The 30 Series Lineup:

30T – Street Price $499

32T – Street Price $549

35T – Street Price $599

35T S – Street Price $599

Founded in 1997, Cordoba seeks to guide the evolution of acoustic guitars and ukuleles, blending

traditional craftsmanship of the early master luthiers with modern developments. Inspired by the organic

beauty and honesty of acoustic instruments, every Cordoba is lightweight, responsive, and a direct

descendant of the Spanish tradition. Cordoba continues to challenge the definition of the acoustic guitar

without sacrificing the authenticity of its heritage. Learn more at www.cordobaguitars.com.

CORDOBA GUITARS DEBUTS ACOUSTIC FIDELITY

SYSTEM Cordoba Engineers New Proprietary Pickup and Preamp for Nylon and Steel String

Models

SANTA MONICA, CA – Beginning in 2013, select Cordoba models will be fitted with the Acoustic

Fidelity System (AFS), a revolutionary high fidelity acoustic pickup and preamp system. After three

years of development, Cordoba is proud to introduce a pickup and preamp that almost exactly

replicates the sound of the natural acoustic guitar. Inspired by the tradition of Hi-Fi analog sound

reproduction, the AFS has been painstakingly tuned to retain all the inherent acoustical properties of

the original instrument without resorting to digital renderings. The AFS is offered as a one-way or two-

way pickup, depending on the model it is fitted in. Both versions include a digital onboard tuner and six

unique piezo elements that enhance the clarity and separation of the strings. This eliminates the

common imbalance in volume and quality of sound from string to string that can occur with a traditional

under-saddle piezo strip. The two-way pickup also includes a high fidelity microphone strategically

placed to avoid feedback, and comes tuned to augment the open airy sound of an acoustic instrument.

Whether playing in a huge concert hall or a small room, the AFS captures the sonic brilliance of

Cordoba’s acoustic-electric models.

Founded in 1997, Cordoba seeks to guide the evolution of the nylon string guitar, blending traditional

craftsmanship of the early master luthiers with modern developments. Inspired by the organic beauty

and honesty of acoustic instruments, every Cordoba is lightweight, responsive, and a direct descendant

CORDOBA GUITARS ANNOUNCES NEW BOUTIQUE

LUTHIER SERIES Cordoba Develops a New Series of Completely Handmade All Solid Models

SANTA MONICA, CA – Due to the great success of the all solid Cordoba C9, C10, and GK Pro,

Cordoba Guitars is proud to launch the Luthier Series, which will promote and expand on these models.

Aimed at players looking for an all solid, concert level instrument at a reasonable price, the Luthier

Series guitars are handmade by a small team of builders in a boutique workshop, using traditional

Spanish construction techniques and carefully selected premium woods. The foundation of the Luthier

Series rests upon building methods such as the Spanish Heel, hand carved necks and braces, and

domed soundboards which are built on a traditional solera. New models include the C9 Dolce, a 7/8

size version of the C9, and the C12, which is based on the C10. The C12 features a raised fingerboard

for enhanced playability, and lattice bracing – perfect for the musician searching for a more modern

style build, and big, open sound. All models in the Luthier Series feature a mother-of-pearl hand-inlaid

rosette inspired by a 1920s Domingo Esteso rosette, and include a humidified hardshell case.

The Luthier Series Lineup:

C9 Dolce – Street Price $799
