Cordoba FCWE Gipsy Kings Reissue Nylon-String Flamenco with Electronics - Natural
Cordoba FCWE Gipsy Kings Reissue Nylon-String Flamenco with Electronics - Natural. There is the presence of some extra glue at the bridge and neck which leads us to believe it has been reinforced there. The guitar plays great and stays in tune nicely. Aside from that, It is in very good condition with some light signs of use (shallow surface scratches or smudges that don’t show up in pictures and can only be seen upon close inspection)
T Electronics function as they should. There’s little to no fret wear. There are no buzzing or dead frets and the neck is straight. There is no cracking in the neck pockets or anywhere else on the guitar.All our instruments are guaranteed to arrive in the described condition or they are returnable.
Cordoba FCWE Euro-Spruce/Spanish Cypress Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Cordoba's guitar originally released in the late 1990s, the Spanish-made FCWE is a piece of Córdoba history. It features a solid European spruce top and solid Spanish cypress back and sides with Spanish fan bracing for optimal projection.
The FCWE's powerful built-in Fishman Prefix ProBlend preamp and thinbody design helps reduce feedback when the guitar is amplified at high volumes. Low action and little relief in the neck make this guitar comfortable and easy to play. A two-way truss rod is built into the Spanish cedar neck for longterm stability. Other premium features include an ebony fingerboard, Indian rosewood binding and bridge, a clear flamenco-style tap plate, and Savarez Cristal Corum strings.
Comes in a Humidified Humicase Protege Case.

This guitar does not have a manufacturer's warranty. This means it was either returned by a customer, discontinued or rejected from the assembly line of the manufacturer for a blemish, flaw or minor repair. It was sent to MIRC, the largest guitar refurbisher in the US where it was inspected by their fleet of guitar techs. In the cases of a blemish or minor cosmetic issue, no work is done. If any repairs were needed, it was repaired, inspected and set up. They then cover up the original serial number and issue it a new one to avoid false warranty claims. It is then stamped “USED” on the back of the headstock. This allows us to sell you a guitar that is in great condition for well below the price of a brand new instrument. When we receive it, we inspect and test it thoroughly and include any noticeable flaws in our description.
