F7 Paco Flamenco
Córdoba F7 Paco Flamenco
The F7 Paco is a remarkable nylon-string acoustic guitar that offers a unique departure from traditional flamenco guitar tonewoods. This instrument pays tribute to the legendary guitarist Paco De Lucia, whose untimely passing in 2014 inspired its design, drawing from several well-known instruments in his collection.
Product Features
- Great-sounding guitar in honor of Paco De Lucia.
- Traditional Spanish fan bracing provides a balanced, lively sound.
- Indian rosewood back and sides for a full-bodied frequency response.
- Canadian cedar top for excellent definition and projection.
- Traditional classical-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard.
Product Overview
The F7 Paco features a solid Canadian cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides, resulting in a fuller, darker, and less biting tone compared to the standard F7. Built in the Spanish tradition, this guitar is incredibly lightweight, with a slightly thinner body depth than a classical guitar. Additionally, a high gloss finish, maple binding, and a clear flamenco-style tap plate complete this homage to a flamenco great.

Additional Information
While the Cordoba F7 Paco is an affordable option, it does not compromise on quality materials. The Indian rosewood back and sides provide a powerful tonal foundation for the solid Canadian cedar top, ensuring the right balance of warmth and brightness. The neck is crafted from solid mahogany, allowing for maximum transfer of string energy to the cedar top, while a rosewood fingerboard and bridge enhance its elegant appearance.
