Cordoba GK Studio Overview
Intended to put the bright, percussive sound of Flamenco at your fingertips and facilitate amplification and high-fret soloing while doing so, the GK Studio from Cordoba is a nylon-string classical guitar with a solid European spruce top and cypress back and sides, all in a single-cutaway design intended to promote access to high frets. The mahogany neck provides a 25.5” scale, a rosewood fingerboard, and 19 frets. An Indian rosewood bridge affixes strings to the body.
At the headstock, you’ll find Cordoba Tuning Machines. A 4mm dual-action truss rod is accessible for ensuring that the neck stays straight, and a bone nut has been employed to bolster sustain and resonance on open strings. Since this instrument is primarily intended for Flamenco, a clear tap plate has been pre-installed to prevent you from damaging the top in particularly percussive moments of expression.
For electronics, the instrument is equipped with a Fishman Presys Blend preamp system along with an undersaddle piezo pickup and internal microphone. The preamp includes controls for volume, bass, middle, treble, mic blend to adjust the mix between the pickup and microphone, a notch filter and phase switch to suppress feedback, as well as a built-in tuner.
