As Cordoba has grown alongside the quality of its manufacturing, the brand takes great pride in paying homage to the greats in luthiery with the release of the Luthier Select series.


Inspired by Domingo Esteso

Domingo Esteso is considered one of the greatest Spanish luthiers of the 20th century, with a career spanning from the 1890s to the 1930s. Created after extensive study of Esteso’s guitars, the Luthier Select Esteso mirrors the lightweight and responsive volume produced by his famous designs.

Key Features:

  • Top Options: Choose between European Spruce or Canadian Cedar tops.
  • Hand-carved Spruce Bracing: Works in harmony with the premium quality top woods to recreate the immaculate, full tone synonymous with Esteso guitars.
  • Solid Pau Ferro Back and Sides: Provides the tonal palette of Rosewood, but offers lighter weight and a beautiful figure.
  • Flamed Maple Binding: Adds elegance to the design.
  • Unique Rosette with Mother-of-Pearl Inlay: Reflects the intricacy reserved for Esteso’s top-tier instruments.
  • Ultra-thin Polyurethane Finish: Protects the delicate instrument while allowing the soundboard to vibrate freely.

Complete Package for Musicians

The Cordoba Esteso CD (Cedar Top) and Esteso SP (Spruce Top) guitars come complete with a Deluxe Humidified Archtop Wood Case, offering players a chance to enjoy the exemplary sound and feel of one of history’s premier luthiers.
