Enjoy a fresh take on the traditional aesthetic of the classical nylon string guitar with the Cordoba Protégé C1 Matiz, a model with a classic blue finish, which produces the projection and warmth associated with a classical nylon guitar. The instrument features a spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The maple headplate, bridge, and full-scale fretboard provide a striking look with a lively tonal response.

A satin polyurethane finish provides a layer of protection against nicks and scratches, while the ghost rosette, designed after a traditional wood rosette, allows the eye-catching colored tops to shine through and take center stage. A color-matched gig bag made from recycled nylon is included.

Q: 1. Can I swap out the clamp with a different clamp if i want?

A: You can remove the clamp from the Arca-Swiss C1 Cube cp Geared Head with ClickPan and Arca Classic Quick Release and use a different clamp, but it is a DIY process. There isn't an off the shelf clamp that says it is compatible. The exact screw that you would need is unknown and not disclosed by the manufacturer.
