The Cordoba FCWE Gipsy Kings Classical Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar is handcrafted in Spain. It has a solid German spruce top, solid cypress back & sides with an ebony fingerboard and Fishman Pro Blend electronics. Also included is a Cordoba hardshell case.
I paid $1259 in 2004. It is in great condition! Serial Number: 52303
It has a 2.75" body depth and soft cutaway with flat neck angle for low action and quick response. The sound is sweet and brilliant. The Fishman allows perfect blending of condenser mic and under-bridge piezo pickup.
This is a flamenco guitar, designed by Tonino Baliardo of Gipsy Kings, Tim Miklaucic of GSI and luthiers in Spain. It is often advertised as the "Gipsy Kings model" as not only the band designed it, but also they use this guitar on stage and in studio recordings.
The FWCE is a handmade traditional nylon-string acoustic thinned down with an added cutaway and a Fishman pickup. Perfect for gigging, clubs and other amplified uses. Plug it in for blazing electric solos or go acoustic for traditional flamenco.
