    • Love My Cordoba C5-CE Left Guitar!!!
This guitar was a replacement of an older Cordoba acoustic electric classical guitar. In my search, I looked at different brands since the availability of moderately priced left handed cutaway classical electric guitars was more plentiful than it was 20 years ago. In the end, I decided to stick with Cordoba since it’s consistently one of the best in the classical guitar space. This guitar was actually less expensive than the guitar I had before. Action level was good - especially for someone who has to fight bouts of arthritis in my right hand) and the sound was a very nice surprise even without amplification. (I found some acoustic electrics guitar to have a thinner sound without using amplification.) The guitar body is beautiful and thicker than my prior guitar, which might contribute to the fuller sound. However, the guitar is amazingly light and maneuverable. I also love that this guitar has fret markers which my prior guitar didn’t. Yes, I know at some point, you shouldn’t need them… but I guess I’m not at that point. But the fret markers are on the side of the neck so, they’re only visible to the person playing the guitar (or someone flying a drone above you). One last note. I am grateful to Amazon for making it easy to acquire this guitar. Although Cordoba has many certified dealers, I quickly realized that acquiring a left hand version of this guitar through these dealers was going to more difficult and time consuming than I thought it should be. Acquiring this guitar through Amazon was easy and fast. ... show more

    • Perfect fit and gorgeous tone
I received my Córdoba guitar earlier this week and have not been able to put it down since receiving it. First I must say I’m using my wife’s Amazon Prime account to write this review. The guitar arrived doubled boxed. I was a little surprised by the weight of the packaging and guitar. The packing was quite small and lightweight. I thought I ordered the incorrect model. That leads me into the guitar itself. This is a lefty guitar. I learned how to play about 37 years ago on a righty playing the guitar strung upside down. About 7 years ago I completely went to left handed guitars and strung for lefties. This guitar is lightweight but packs a heavy volume with a mellow to bright tone. My hands are not large so I was concerned with neck and fretboard size. Those concerns are without merit. Moving up and down the fretboard is easy and navigable. I can’t say enough about the size, weight and comfortable fit of this instrument. I’m 5’ 7” and this guitar fits perfectly and would fit a person of larger stature quite well. Wood and craftsmanship of this guitar is impecable and detailed. The headstock and tuning keys are detailed and quite stiff. The electronics are superb. I have fishman in my other guitars. I played this clean through my Acoustic amplifier and voila gorgeous bass and mid range tone rang through. It’s been only 5 days since this instrument arrived but so far this guitar is on par with more expensively priced guitars. I plan to buy Córdoba thin body next year. ... show more

    • Left Handed upside-down review and info
I am left handed but learned on friends' right handed guitars 20 years ago. I never switched over to actual left handed guitars until I had already been playing for many years, and since then I have systemically replaced my guitar collection with lefties. I still string them right handed though, as I primarily play extremely complex technical metal, thrash, and death metal. I also have a thing for classical guitar, and I finally decided to buy an actual classical guitar instead of playing classical on the Ibanez acoustic that I use for non-distorted stuff. After researching for quite awhile, I settled on this Cordoba. As with other reviews, I found it be a rather good value for the price tag. I am an expert guitarist and have come across very few guitarists in my 20 years of playing that can play classical guitar at my level, and I highly recommend this guitar. The intonation is great, it has the timbre of a thousand dollar+ model, the tuners are stiff (which you want in a classical guitar), it is lightweight compared to a lot of models, the frets are well done (not too thick, not too thin), the action is a little high (which you want if you plan to play flamenco or any classical that involves aggressive hand strumming), and it just plain plays and sounds good. My only complaint is that it has the standard coating on the back of the neck, whilst I prefer the non polished dry finish on my non-electrics. No big deal, as I'm accustomed to both. I specifically titled this review Left handed upside down for a reason. As I am a lefty who plays upside down, and I have a lot of experience modifying lefty guitars for right handed stringing, I can offer unique information that others like me would really appreciate hearing: This guitar requires NO modification. Both the saddle and the nut are designed in a way that makes switching up the stringing effortless. Unlike my Ibanez acoustic, which I had to buy a right handed saddle and nut for, this one requires no such thing. This is the first guitar in 13 years that I didn't have to modify. A win all around. ... show more

    • Nice entry to mid level instrument
Good workmanship. Needed only minor adjustments like filing of fret ends to remove rough edges. Plays a bit more sharp the farther you are from the nut. As with most instruments it will probably need professional adjustment after initial break in.
