Ease into classical playing with the Cordoba Cadete nylon-string acoustic guitar! The Cadete sports a 3/4-sized body with mahogany back and sides and a Canadian cedar top, for great tone in a compact size. The solid African mahogany neck provides great sustain and rich overtones. Whether you're a beginner or just looking for an alternative classical guitar, the Cadete is a great value. And with extra touches like the Indian rosewood binding and gold tuners with pearl buttons, the Cadete looks as good as it plays.





Compact Size





The Cordoba Cadete is easy to play, thanks to the 3/4 body size and 1.88" nut width. The smaller body size makes the Cadete ideal for younger players, or anyone who finds a standard-sized classical nylon guitar just a bit too big. And the 1.88" nut width makes it easier to form chords and change positions, great for new players or those transitioning from a standard acoustic or electric guitar.





Quality Tonewoods





While the Cordoba Cadete is inexpensive, Cordoba did not skimp on the quality. The mahogany back and sides set a powerful tonal foundation for the solid Canadian cedar top, giving you the right blend of deep richness and brilliance. For maximum transfer of vibration, the neck is solid African mahogany - the tone and sustain are amazing, and you'll love how every nuance of your playing is captured. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete the elegant look.





Ideal for Beginners





From the easy-to-play size to the great price, the Cordoba Cadete is perfect for beginners. Whether you're new to classical nylon-string guitars, or have never played a guitar in your life, the Cadete gives you the right balance of playability, durability, and great sound. But thanks to the premium tonewoods and great looks, you'll want to keep your Cadete well beyond your first years of playing.
