The Protégé Series C1 3/4 from Cordoba is a 3/4-size nylon-string classical guitar with a high-gloss finish. It utilizes a spruce top with mahogany back and sides, and provides aesthetics such as a Hauser-style mosaic inlay around its soundhole and ABS binding. Gold tuners secure strings at the headstock, while a rosewood bridge anchors strings to the body.

The guitar’s mahogany neck sports a 24.2” scale with a C-shaped profile, a rosewood fingerboard with 19 frets, and side marker inlays at the fifth, seventh, and ninth frets. The neck also includes a two-way adjustable truss rod. With these features, alongside its 3/4 size, this guitar is quite suitable to youngsters just learning how to play classical guitar. A gig bag is included.
