Cordoba Luthier Select Esteso Spruce Top Classical Guitar with Case

The Esteso is lightweight with an incredible tone. This Cordoba Esteso is built with a solid European spruce, paired with solid Pau Ferro back and sides. The Cordoba Esteso has a more petite body shape than many full size guitars, measuring 13 � inches at the lower bout.
