Esteso Rosette and Flamed Maple Back Wedge

Lattice Bracing and a Raised Fingerboard

Cordoba Guitars: Founded in 1997 by Tim Miklaucic

Cordoba was founded in 1997 by Tim Miklaucic, who started out by gathering a team of master luthiers to build nylon-string guitars in the Spanish tradition. The company grew from there into a full line of classical and flamenco guitars, from student instruments to the US-built Master Series. In 2023 Cordoba Music Group, the company behind Cordoba, became part of Yamaha Guitar Group.

Kenny Hill and Edmund Blöchinger, Designers Emeritus

Two master luthiers whose own guitars are well known to GSI customers serve as Cordoba's designers emeritus: Kenny Hill, the California guitar maker behind the Hill and New World guitars, and Edmund Blöchinger of Dorfen, Germany, one of the most sought-after Torres-inspired luthiers working today.

Cordoba at GSI

GSI is a Cordoba dealer and carries a selection of the brand's nylon-string guitars, from the Luthier Series, made in China, to the Master Series, made in the USA.
