    • Finally - high quality at a great price. Love this guitar
Color: Spruce Size: Cutaway Electric
Just received and opened 20 minutes ago. Incredible quality in the build, playability, tone, how the neck feels. The whole thing. Nice surprise to see a truss rod wrench as well. I'm really happy to see guitars in this price range that offers all of this type of quality and satisfaction. I think this is the first classical type that I've seen with a truss rod. Might be a standard thing now but the Ovation nylon string didn't and also the tuner broke as well. And that was the same price point. btw - the Ovation was not purchased through Amazon.. Which is why I'm now purchasing through Amazon. Very happy with the music coming out of this new Cordoba and excited to hear how it will sound and ply as it settles in. ... show more

    • Reasonable guitar
Color: Cedar Size: Cutaway Electric
I am giving this instrument 5 stars not because its perfect but b/c i got exactly what i was expecting. A good instrument for a good price. I am the owner of a Music academy and also teach 40 students. I was looking for a guitar that i could recommend to a student and be confident that they would enjoy playing it. I think this is the one. I've had it only 1 day and played it for maybe 4 hours but it feels nice, looks great, and is everything a student could ever need/ want. -body has no imperfections or bowing. The bridge is well in place which i was worried about after reading another review. -neck feels great, not as thick as a typical classical (which is nice) but just as wide. -frets are not a problem although i will smooth the edges just a touch(they are fine I just like a super smooth feel when going up the neck) -plugged in sounds pretty good(not super good but exactly what i should at the price) -tuner in guitar is actually very nice and well lit. Also it came with a clip on tuner... Idk why they include a tuner when it has a built in tuner but its a nice surprice What i will end up replacing (not b/c it needs but b/c i just like working on my guitars) -nut -bridge -saddle -tuning machines -pick ups ... show more

I had originally thought of purchasing the Thinline version, after trying it out, but decided to go with this one, as it was on sale for good price and I can say it was the right choice. This one offers a fuller sound when played unplugged, and it’s overall excellent for the price. Neck is very slightly thinner than your classical guitar (50mm vs 52mm at the nut) and very comfortable. The solid cedar top offers a really well balanced sound and plenty of sustain. I did have to change strings, since one snapped a few hours after receiving it, so I went with D’Addario normal tension (my go to for classical guitars) and she’s good to go. Love the attention to detail, specially in the price range. The only thing I would have added is strap buttons, which it lacks any, but this is not enough reason to give it anything other than a 5 star rating. I definitely recommend Cordoba to anyone looking for a good quality instrument, at an affordable price. ... show more

    • FOUND THE CURE FOR THE BUZZING ON CORDOBA GUITARS
Color: Cedar Size: Cutaway Electric
BUZZING IS FIXED!! Exceptional sound, super play-ability, great sound when amplified. Love this little guitar. There have been many complaints of an annoying buzz when playing... mine had this problem, too. I tried all the solutions mentioned - tied down the wiring harness, padded the battery door, reset the saddle... all fixes were only temporary- the buzz returned. At last, I found the solution... HERE IS THE FIX FOR THE BUZZING: the bridge is held on by glue AND by two small nuts and bolts which pass thru the bridge but are covered by the trim inlay on the bridge and thus remain unseen from outside the guitar (on mine, the bolts were between strings 5 & 6 and between strings 2 & 3). Feel under the bridge and you will find that the two hex nuts are loose and they buzz at certain frequencies. Loosen strings, reach inside with 6mm socket & small ratchet handle, feel for the hex nuts and tighten them down...finish with a drop of super glue or Loctite applied with a Q-tip. DO NOT remove the nuts! Nearly impossible to get them back on the bolt, and they may be required to keep the bridge from coming off the quitar when strings are at full pitch. This works!! ... show more

    • I was disappointed but managed to fix it
Color: Cedar Size: Cutaway Electric
The guitar had a loud buzz when strumming each string and the neck needed to be adjusted. I had to do some work on it to get it to sound decent! I was disappointed but managed to fix it...I have the same model guitar and it's a great guitar. I bought a second one in case my other guitar crapped out.

    • Great Guitar for the Money
Color: Cedar Size: Cutaway Electric
Cordoba C5-CE Iberia Series Acoustic Electric Classical Guitar After putting off purchasing a nylon string guitar for quite a while I decided it was finally time to bite the bullet and pick one up. I researched classical guitars for under 500 dollars and this model kept coming up in the results. I am glad I decided to go with this one, the sound from the wood used is very rich and the notes ring crisp and clear with the kind of separation of tone you would expect from a guitar that would cost you much more. The fingerboard is wide and easy to use and it makes chording and picking the notes easy. I would recommend this guitar for anyone looking to pick up a nice classical style guitar and not wanting to get a second mortgage to pay for it. ... show more

    • My Favorite Guitar in my Collection
Color: Cedar Size: Cutaway Electric
I've been playing for over 40 years (mainly bass guitar). Decided I needed a classical guitar to play and round out my collection. Did a lot of research on classical guitars under $500 and this Cordoba keep coming up. I bought it when Amazon had it on sale. Glad I did. It looks great, plays fantastic. Plugged it in to see how it sounded amplified. I was blown away. I know you're suppose to store your guitar in a case, but this one sits on a stand in the living room and I play it before going to work and before going to bed everyday. I has become my favorite guitar in my collection. ... show more
