The Cordoba Luthier Select Series Esteso (Spruce) promises to live up to the reputation the earlier Master Series guitars belonging to the Master Series Line. This newer model is crafted in China and reflects a perfect combination of iconic Spanish design and the panache of boutique lutherie at its best. Drawing inspiration from two Domingo Esteso classical guitars from 1931, the Cordoba Esteso model features a full size scale length and nut width combined with a compact body. Constructed with solid palo escrito back and sides, the Esteso is offered with a choice of solid European spruce or Canadian cedar top. Other features include a 1931 Esteso style pearloid rosette, 5 fan Esteso bracing, flamed maple binding, ebony fingerboard, ultra-thin polyurethane finish, and Cordoba/Gotoh tuning machines with ivoroid buttons.
All guitars purchased on the All Strings Nylon website undergo a thorough setup performed by a professional luthier, Chuck Marfione, at no extra cost to our customers. The setup includes the following steps:
- Inspect the instrument to ensure its cosmetic and structural integrity
- Level and polish the frets, adjust the nut and saddle and, where present, the truss rod to achieve optimal action and eliminate string buzz
- Adjust intonation if deemed necessary
- Condition the fingerboard to protect it from dirt, perspiration, and drying out
- Inspect the tuning machines to ensure they turn smoothly
- Pre-stretch the strings to minimize string break-in
- Test the electronics if present
