Córdoba is a Santa Monica, California-based maker of nylon-string guitars and ukuleles, founded in 1997 by Tim Miklaucic. The company was built around a mission to bring nylon-string instruments to a wider audience, grounding its designs in the Spanish lutherie tradition while modernizing accessibility and playability across skill levels.
The lineup spans several tiers — from the student-focused Protégé and Iberia series up through the Luthier and Master collections. The Master series includes historically inspired replicas referencing the work of foundational luthiers such as Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser I, and Manuel Reyes. Several models are designed in collaboration with noted builders including Kenny Hill, Edmond Blöchinger, and Pepe Romero Jr. Beyond classical guitars, the catalog includes flamenco instruments, the Fusion line of electric-nylon crossover guitars, the Stage series (which includes an Abasi signature model), and a full ukulele lineup in soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone sizes.
Córdoba has cultivated an artist community spanning classical, flamenco, indie, and folk genres. Players including Jose Gonzalez, The Gipsy Kings, Andrew York, Angelo DeAugustine, Emma Ruth Rundle, and Mariachi El Bronx have appeared in its artist program. The parent company, Córdoba Music Group, also owns Guild Guitars, and the combined entity was acquired by Yamaha Guitar Group.
Cordoba has 103 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Classical & Nylon-String Guitars, Ukuleles, and Acoustic-Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 34 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Gabriela Quintero, Atsushi, and Sor Hands. Most Cordoba products fall in the mid-tier range — professional-grade without flagship pricing.
