Cordoba TORRES SP/IN W/C: A Historic Spanish Sound for Modern Concert Artists

The Cordoba TORRES SP/IN W/C classical guitar is a tribute to the pioneering designs of Antonio de Torres, the father of the modern classical guitar. Built to the highest standards using all solid woods and meticulous traditional construction, this model brings the celebrated Torres sound into the hands of today's performers. A reduced 640 mm scale length, compact 24.8"-inspired body, and 7-fan bracing pattern create a guitar with surprising volume, clarity, and dynamic range. Designed for professionals and collectors, this instrument combines historical authenticity with modern playability.

As an heirloom-quality choice for serious musicians, the YRS-23 provides expressive tone and performance reliability.

Historic Materials and Luthier Details

Pairing a solid Italian spruce top with solid Indian rosewood back and sides gives the guitar a classic Spanish tonal signature—deep bass, lyrical trebles, and detailed overtone response. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish and Spanish heel neck joint further enhance resonance and sustain. Meticulous craftsmanship, including the C-shape neck and ebony fingerboard, ensures each note rings with clarity and character.
