  • Nice Guitar
I'm very happy with this guitar. It arrived just a few days ago. I've been playing a long time but mostly steel string acoustics. This guitar is light and even with the Cristal Corum high tension strings feels very easy on the fingertips I suppose that's part of the allure of nylon. This guitar is beautiful. It shines like glass. The strings were already in tune right out of the case. It's a nice case, form fitting and also light but more protective than a gig bag. This guitar has been sounding better by the day as I acclimate to it. Artificial harmonics are easy to get on this instrument with these strings. Tunes by Sor and Tarrega sound better on this guitar than on acoustic. I would describe this guitar's sound as full, almost chorusy in nature as opposed to super clear. It's a matter of taste and I'm just going with it. You can do things to clarify the sound if you want but sometimes a big wall of sound is what you want. If you have Bridgett Memikides Compendium, the first two studies sound fantastic on this guitar as does the 3rd 'The Guiliani Allegro' which she plays at 100bpm. I play it at something like 55bpm. To me 100bpm shouldn't be humanly possible ! The action was set fairly low but the guitar comes with instructions on how to adjust the truss rod. I won't be doing that any time soon. The guitar should be kept in the case when not in use and at 45-55% humidity and 60-85 degrees Fahrenheit. I've set up a small room humidifier in the room the guitar is stored in to rectify the situation. I turn the humidifier off at night and close the case and the humidity is preserved overnight. I will not zip and unzip the case because eventually the zipper will fail that way. When I need to actually move the guitar I'll be assured of quality transport. I use high heat canola oil to revitalize the fret board and a little Murphy's oil soap solution for the painted waxed sections. Winters are hard on guitars with the low humidity's and fast temperature changes so don't expect your fine solid wood guitar to stay in perfect tune under those extreme conditions. This is a living piece of wood and will expand and contract accordingly. I keep a vibration head stock tuner handy and generally stop playing when the furnace comes on. Once the temperature stabilizes I re-tune and start again. The guitar doesn't fall out by much but by enough and spring will come soon enough and this will then be unnecessary. If anything changes I'll come back and amend but for now I'm living in a fool's paradise over this purchase. Thanks for reading ! ... show more

  • Best Guitar I've Ever Owned
This review is for anyone thinking about ordering the Cordoba guitars online from Amazon. My wife ordered the Cordoba C9 for me as a reward for passing my Cisco exams. I had it in my wish list but what a shock when I picked it up at the PO. The guitar shipped the same day it was ordered and arrived here in Seoul Korea in about 10 days. The packing box and materials perfectly the foam case and the C9. There are two variations of the CP - cedar vs. spruce tops. I have the cedar topped version. If you are thinking of learning any Spanish/Romantic music this would be the guitar for you. This cedar top gives it a nice warm, round sound - great lows without sacrificing the highs. I could find no flaws in the fit and finish of this guitar. The top is a beautifully colored cedar. The fretboard is ebony which has a very nice feel compared to rosewood. The tuning machines are gold-toned with black buttons. The rosette is looks like something from the 1920's. The finish is applied evenly and not too thick. The finish on the back and sides has a three-dimension depth that you can't see in any photographs. Up and down the neck the guitar plays flawlessly and is a joy to play. If you are looking for a student model under $2,000, then this is the one. The only other advice I'd give you is to buy the Humidicase at the same time you order the guitar for the lifetime warantee. ... show more

  • It is worth for the amount paid for.
I received it after eight days from my order. It is a beautiful and very comfortable guitar to play. The sound is amazing, it is shiny with great finishing. The case that it came with is very protective and beautiful. Absolutely worth the amount of money paid. The workmanship is flawless. The only thing that I have complain about is that every couple of days I need to retune it. Hopefully by passing time, it gets better. ... show more

  • Great student guitar
Let me start by saying this is a really great guitar if your a classical guitar students it is probably has the best sound for the price I had this guitar for 6 months. I recently replaced this guitar for a 2000 dollar made in Spain concert Alhambra guitar and to be honest. The c9 isnt that far behind there is one thing that I've liked about all cordoba guitar and that is the sustain. Even the guitar I have now doesn't compare to the sustain on my c9. The only reason I didn't give this guitar 5 stars was for these two reasons. 1 this guitar lacks balance but really that's any guitar at this price range. On a side note all cordoba guitar balance gets better the higher in price and the c9 is probably the best it's going to get in balance but it still lacks the kind of balance you get from guitars that are thousands of dollars more. 2 this guitar lacks low end doesn't much bass but still sounds great. In terms of the way it looks it is very well crafted beutifull with really even grain very evenly tight thins guitar is beutifull the finish on it keep is looking shiny and like new with a good polish. The only ugly thing about it is the rosette it looks cheap and of bad taste since its some holographic sticker they should of just put a regular rossette like the one on the c5 that looks tons better. So in concussion this guitar is great if your a student or a serious amateur. Can hold you up until you save 3000 for a concert guitar guitars of that range are the only ones that r a good upgrade from this. Oh sorry for all the typos wrote this on a touch screen ... show more

  • Very good classical guitar for the money - sound is warm and rich!
I have been playing this Cordoba for about six months and I have to say it has a lovely, warm tone and is very easy to play. For beginning and intermediate players this model is slightly smaller than the typical classical guitar at 7/8 size but for those of us with a shorter finger reach, this makes a big difference. You will still have to stretch, but I have found it to be within my reach with just a little practice. The strings it is shipped with are fine, but I just changed mine to Augustine Imperial medium tension and love the sound even more. ... show more
