Don't be misled about it's price point in thinking it's just a "beginner's guitar" - this is such an incredible sounding guitar for the money, and plays great for all experience levels. I've been playing for 20 years, and for the money, this beats 90% of the classical guitars, and many of just acoustic guitars in general. Build quality is fantastic - neck / frets smooth (not cutting up the fingers), finish is perfectly consistent and smooth, playable right out of the box with a little tune up. Quality tuners. Well-matched woods too - you just hear a certain level of sound when you strum a guitar in tune. Listen for it. The guitar resonates, the sound begins to open up, and conducts a tone that's more than just being in pitch, but "plays" with each other. It's quite exciting to hear, and THIS guitar does that. Amazon is great because the first one I got DID have quality issues, but quick exchanged for another, and all is well. It's expected when made in China, but NOT because the factory or craftsmanship is bad (it's really good), but heck man, an instrument made of wood is shipping over seas to get to you! :] Can't say enough about this guitar, and would highly recommend to anyone at all levels - even experienced players (don't be fooled by their non-5 star reviews, you just acquire certain tastes after playing for so long). Did a side-by-side comparison with 4 others: - a 70's cedar top La Paterie (Cordoba sounded better for money and availability) - 90's comparable Taiwan-made Yamaha G225 (which had better balance, but didn't project as much as the C5) - Cordoba C5 SP (spruce top version) - spruce top version projects more with crisper highs as expected. Here I personally chose the spruce top because I'm an acoustic guitar player, not a classical player. Cedar is a great tone wood for a more mellow balanced sound typical of classical music. Spruce is great for more separation in that sound and for more projection. - Lucero LC200 - this was actually surprising because though the one I got out of the box was junk (cracked during manufacture shipping), it seemed like build quality was quite good. They pushed using higher end materials (bone-like type nut, better strings), but cutting through that, for the price (even cheaper) it's an even better value, BUT crack not-withstanding, the sound was too green and didn't open up like the Cordoba. I feel like even in perfect condition it wouldn't have sounded as good as the C5.

Believe the hype. This is a fantastic guitar. It sounds lovely. And the wood is absolutely gorgeous. I’m not a huge fan of the high gloss finish, but this time I don’t mind because it really shows off the grain. The guitar came set up well enough to play, but a few minutes adjusting it made it absolutely perfect. If you don’t know how to sand down the saddle, adjust the truss rod, and file the nut slots, then you might have to pay a luthier to do it. But that’s true of any guitar you buy online (no matter how much you pay for it). The tuning machines are a bit on the budget side, but that is true of all inexpensive guitars. For a hundred bucks you can swap them out for nicer tuners if that’s your concern. I’m going to leave mine as is. They work fine. It comes with Cordoba high tension strings which are similar in tension to the ever-popular D’Addario J45 medium tensions. They sound great too: full and balanced. So you won’t have to immediately swap strings when it arrives. This guitar is a keeper.

I had heard how this is the workhorse classical guitar from several sources, so I took the plunge and bought myself a birthday present. What an awesome way to finally dig into classical guitar. The action was a sitting right at 3.8mm at the 12th fret on arrival with no buzzing across the fretboard. The D-string broke on the 2nd day, but switched to normal tension and that’s been even better for me. This wasn’t a real issue, I’ve changed plenty of guitar strings… The tuning is very stable once the strings are broken in over the course of a few days! I was worried, but the turning pegs are sufficient and don’t need replacing. I love the bone nut and saddle and the guitar arrived in pristine condition! I’m in love with her… and I hope to have more Cordoba guitars in my future.

I am just a beginner and bought this guitar to feel the difference between nylon and steel strings. It looks very nice and after some minor tuning it sounds really good. I was surprised it arrived wrapped in a plastic polly sleeve and in a cardboard box. On unboxing it , I did not find a single scratch or mark on it. I always tune my guitars before use and this one stays in tune while I practice . It comes with a truss rod Allen wrench. I would buy this guitar again and I would recommend it to others.

I took this guitar anxiously out of the box, tuned it up and played it. I was Not disappointed! This guitar is very well made and sounds beautiful. The cedar top gives it a nice rich tone. It plays with ease and I like the size of the tuning buttons. The tuners are great. All in all, I am very pleased with this guitar and consider it an excellent buy.

So far so good with this guitar! I think this is a great place to start for classical guitars. I'd say the price is appropriate for the build quality and specs. It has a wonderful sound, and resonates very well. Setup wise, I would say watch the action as it might be a bit high. The addition of the truss rod makes it easy enough to adjust though so don't let that be a deterrent from getting this guitar. I would also recommend hydrating the fretboard if you do nothing else. While not at all the worst condition I've seen a fretboard in out of the box, my guitar definitely needed a bit of work in that regard. All in all this is a beautiful instrument and I'm happy to have purchased it!

The guitar was beautifully shipped in two boxes. Neck was protected well. It is perfect. The sound is very good. As a beginner (sort of) I was as excited as a kid at Christmas to see the delivery guy. I also bought the Fender clip on tuner which saved me hours of tuning without a piano. The wood and finish is really beautiful as is the gold area around the tuning knobs! It has a vintage feel. So happy with this purchase.
