Classic nylon-string tone takes on a vibrant new personality in the Córdoba C5 Camellia, pairing the model's solid Western red cedar top and traditional construction with a warm, rosy-pink finish that makes an unmistakable visual statement. The solid cedar top brings warmth, depth and responsive dynamics, while mahogany back and sides add balanced definition to the guitar's resonant voice. Traditional fan bracing supports an open, expressive voice with plenty of sustain, while a mahogany C-shaped neck and rosewood fingerboard provide comfortable playability across the 25.6" scale. Traditional appointments including a rosewood bridge, bone nut and saddle and gold Córdoba tuners with pearl buttons complement a lightweight, approachable design suited to developing technique, exploring fingerstyle playing or simply adding a more colorful nylon-string voice to your collection.
Solid Western Red Cedar Top Finished in Striking Camellia
The C5 Camellia puts a fresh visual spin on traditional nylon-string construction, with its vibrant pink top creating a striking contrast against the natural mahogany back and sides. Beneath the distinctive finish, the solid Western red cedar top provides warmth, depth and an immediate response to the player's touch, while mahogany adds balance and definition. Traditional fan bracing allows the top to move freely under the lower tension of nylon strings, contributing to an open, expressive voice with plenty of sustain. The familiar non-cutaway body maintains the traditional proportions and lightweight feel at the heart of the C5 design.
Traditional C-Shaped Neck for Familiar Classical Playability
A mahogany neck carved to a comfortable C shape gives the C5 Camellia a familiar classical feel, with a 25.6" scale and 2" nut providing traditional nylon-string spacing for the fretting hand. The neck joins the body at the 12th fret, while a rosewood fingerboard carries 19 frets for a traditional playing layout. A dual-action truss rod provides additional control over neck relief, bringing practical adjustability to the otherwise traditional design. Together, the wide nut, classical proportions and smooth rosewood playing surface provide ample room for clean chord voicings, fingerstyle articulation and precise fretting across the neck.
Rosewood and Gold Appointments Complement the Camellia Finish
Traditional materials and refined details give the C5 Camellia a polished presentation that complements its distinctive rosy-pink finish. A rosewood bridge anchors the strings at the body, while a bone nut and saddle provide hard, consistent contact points at either end of the scale. Gold Córdoba tuning machines with pearl buttons bring an elegant accent to the headstock, joined by the maple Córdoba Arches logo for a clean finishing detail. A hand-inlaid wood rosette provides a natural visual counterpoint to the Camellia top, while Savarez Cristal Corum High Tension strings complete the factory setup with a respected nylon-string set ready for traditional classical playing.
Classic C5 Character in a Bold New Color
The Córdoba C5 has earned its place as a cornerstone of the brand's traditional nylon-string offerings by combining solid-top construction, familiar classical proportions and approachable playability in a straightforward design. The C5 Camellia preserves that foundation with its solid cedar top, mahogany back and sides, traditional fan bracing and comfortable C-shaped neck, then gives the familiar formula an expressive new visual identity. Its striking floral-hued top stands apart while remaining grounded by natural wood appointments and the understated grain of the mahogany body. For players drawn to timeless nylon-string construction but looking for something beyond a conventional natural finish, the C5 Camellia brings fresh personality to a proven Córdoba design.
