    • Perfect as a beginner student
Color: Natural Size: Standard
Smelled great out of the box. Cordoba C5 is what my college classes had for their beginner students to borrow. I'm a newb, so I don't have any sounds to complain about. My teacher can easily create a greater range of volume from her custom-made guitar, but she also paid much, much, much more for it as a professional musician. I don't feel guilty or nervous slightly banging this around. ... show more

    • The C5 is great. Best classical understand $1k
Color: Natural Size: Standard
The veneer back and sides, the varnish, and truss rod make this a very durable guitar that is resistant to temperature and humidity changes. The solid spruce top gives great volume and tone. Spending more on a classical will leave you with a more delicate guitar.

    • Quality a good price bad customer service from Córdoba

Review Image by LM LM
I bought this guitar per recommendation of a person who is a guitar player, musician, teacher and luthier I am a beginner, the guitars looks very well made, sounds very good, it came with a little defect from factory but too small that is doesn’t bother me, the expert check it and his comment was all positive, I am enjoying it, sound very good, we just replaced the string for a better quality, recommended for beginners Up date 4/25/24. The small defect mentioned before is getting bigger I will contact the factory. Up date 3/26/25 After the first contact with the factory in California and after sending all the information requested to proceed with the warranty nobody contacted me even after so many emails and calls, the guitar was never fixed, quite disappointed with their service. ... show more

    • I like this guitar
Color: Spalted Maple Size: Limited Cutaway Electric Thin Body
Like a lot of guitar players I own too many guitars. I didn't own a classical guitar however, but I wanted one. I started doing research and didn't want to spend a lot somehow I ended up on this one -- and a used one was listed for a really good deal and I bought it. My original plan had been to buy it on a different site, but ti was a deal and I'm glad I decided to buy. My only complaint with this guitar is the frets need some file work (something that the other site I had thought of buying it one would never have shipped). Anyway a little work and this is just a good sounding fun guitar to play. I dig it. Good sound. Great looking. The onboard tuner/electronics are handy. It is very cool for the money. ... show more

    • Poor build quality
Color: Spruce Size: Cutaway Electric
1. The frets are not cut to widthh and sharp as a grinder knifes when moving the palm along the neck. 2. The lacquer at the lower rim edge leaked and created a narrow strip with rough touch. It looks like the guitar top is slightly extended over the sides / bottom and it's not sanded to fit. _____ I was looking for a better build since the sale pitch suggests "hand made". But.. Maybe the more expensive models or " not made in Cina" is intened? Choose Yamaha for better quality all around. ... 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

    • Great guitar. poorly handled.
Color: Spalted Maple Size: Limited Cutaway Electric Thin Body
My low rating is for Amazon's handling and NOT the quality of Cordoba, which is fantastic! The fit and finish are non-parallel. Please read on to see my impressions of the guitar. To preface, I am not a first-time Cordoba owner, and my past experiences have been nothing less than stellar. Cordoba, in my humble opinion, is the finest maker of mass-produced nylon-stringed instruments available today - no matter the country of origin. One of their American-made guitars was rated in a magazine as one of the top ten guitars you would like to own. It is expensive but a fraction of the price of its competitors. My offshore built one arrived yesterday, and I was excited to get it, I love the small body and the presentation of the spalted maple. When I opened the box and pulled it out, disappointment extinguished my excitement. The fret edges were razor-sharp, the top is caving in where the fretboard meets the soundhole making it unplayable above the fifth fret because of the action. Within five minutes out of its cellulose wrapper, I started a return ticket. I've been a player, and a private teacher, for more than forty years, this isn’t my first rodeo, I've lost count of how many guitars have come and gone, and after checking the tracking history of this one, I knew exactly what happened. The instrument originated from an Amazon warehouse in a suburb of Phoenix, a city known for being conveniently located a quarter-mile from the sun, and humidity perpetually stuck in the single digits. Looking at the date code, it has likely been there for months. The wood has been robbed of its moisture, the telltale signs being the sharp frets and the top warping. Too bad Amazon doesn’t understand or have the facilities to care for fine instruments. It also explains the bad reviews from customers receiving broken or disfigured instruments. I feel sorry for the people who suffered the same disappointment I felt and feel bad for the guy who took a fret file to his new guitar. Right now, the guitar is in a case undergoing a humidification process. I will keep the return ticket just in case it can’t be returned to the pristine condition Cordoba intended. Please understand, Cordoba doesn’t make bad guitars, Amazon just warehouses them poorly and my rating will stand solely for Amazon's part in this. This is a beautiful, well-made instrument and from what I can tell from the brief introduction, has a snappy flamenco-like tone with ringing sympathetic notes and overtones that float in front of you. FYI - it is a thin body, the sound is well balanced but is a tad weak in the bass department, I knew that going in, and I'm not complaining. The Cordoba CE5- CET Limited gets five stars! ... show more
