Cordoba HAUSER SP/IN W/C: Masterpiece Classical Guitar for the Stage

The Cordoba HAUSER SP/IN W/C stands at the pinnacle of classical guitar craftsmanship, paying homage to the historic 1937 Hauser played by Andrés Segovia. Designed for professional concert artists and advanced players, this model merges Cordoba’s luthier tradition with meticulous attention to historic detail. Built in the USA from select all-solid woods and finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer, the HAUSER SP/IN W/C captures the clarity, depth, and projection that define the most revered concert guitars. This model offers a rare blend of tradition, premium materials, and modern refinements, making it a reference point in the Master Series.

Distinctive Features for Elite Performers

What sets it apart is the use of a solid Italian spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood for the back and sides—materials chosen for their superior tonal complexity and projection. Thanks to the 1937 Hauser 7-fan bracing pattern, hand-shaped Spanish cedar neck, and a smooth ebony fingerboard, players experience excellence on stage and in the studio. For professional-level protection, a deluxe humidified archtop wood case is included.

Stage-Ready Tonewoods and Construction

Premium wood selection and historical construction methods directly impact the instrument’s tonal palette and response. The solid Italian spruce top provides outstanding clarity and articulation, while the solid Indian rosewood back and sides add warmth and harmonic richness. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish preserves the natural resonance of the wood, resulting in a truly dynamic instrument.

• Body Top: Solid Italian spruce — crisp highs and detailed overtones that cut through any ensemble.
• Back and Sides: Solid Indian rosewood — deep bass, lush sustain, and broad dynamic range.
• Resonance and visual appeal are both enhanced by the nitrocellulose lacquer, which maximizes the potential of the selected tonewoods.

Neck, Fingerboard, and Playability

Neck shape, scale length, and fingerboard materials are meticulously chosen to ensure comfort and accuracy for advanced techniques. The Spanish cedar neck is hand-carved into a C-shape, supporting fast movement and secure grip in any position. Ebony fingerboard and bone nut/saddle increase note clarity and sustain, enabling expressiveness across the full range.

• Neck Material: Spanish cedar — lightweight and responsive for intricate passages.
• Fingerboard: Ebony — smooth surface resists wear and enhances attack.
• With a 650 mm scale length, players get the traditional concert feel and optimized tension they expect from an elite instrument.

Dimensions and Ergonomic Details

Carefully balanced proportions and component choices contribute to projection, comfort, and professional performance. The 52 mm nut width and 19 frets accommodate wide-span chord voicings and virtuosic fingerstyle work. Traditional Spanish heel neck joint and dual-action truss rod offer both stability and future adjustability for the discerning artist.

• Nut Width: 52 mm — ample spacing for complex classical fingering.
• Neck Thickness (1st fret): 21 mm, Neck Thickness (9th fret): 24 mm — consistent, comfortable feel along the neck.
• Body depth at the lower bout of 100 mm supports a full-bodied sound and comfortable posture during performance.
