I bought this guitar for my Wife today, She is learning guitar and I was showing her some basic chords and folk style licks , Then She asked why are some guitars steel string so I picked up a steel string guitar to show her the difference (expecting the steel to sound much better) but wow was I surprised of the tone of the C5. Beautiful guitar and a really good demo here too.

Want to add a nylon string guitar and narrowed it down to a few models. Unfortunately, no one locally has them to try, but your C5 sounds better than any I've heard in a similar price range. As much the playing as the guitar, but an outstanding demo! Really enjoyed it! Cordoba should be paying your royalties :)

@@ChrisEffort I got it. I've watched your "inspirational guitar" vid many times, and I've even played it on my daily walk. I was disappointed when I couldn't find you on Spotify. Let me know how I can hear more of your guitar playing! If you watch the one video I've uploaded, you'll quickly discover that I suck. But, in my defense I've only just learned some basic Travis patterns about a month ago. What follows is part of my Amazon review... When it arrived, I went over it with much scrutiny. I was surprised to find that it appeared to be cosmetically, and structurally perfect in every way. Music Zoo did me right. The guitar arrived perfectly in tune. I played up and down the neck to find the guitar perfectly set up. Now as far as tone goes, I can't compare it to others since I only ordered one, but it sounds every bit as remarkable as I hoped it would. For such an unadorned, historical design, it sounds lively, responsive, rich, and warm. Once I discovered how easily the guitar takes my attempts at expression, the more I express. Adding reverb via finger or neck wobble is easier than any other acoustic guitar I've ever played. Did I mention it REEKS? Reeks in a very good way. When I open the case, out wafts the rich scent of mahogany. This guitar smells like it was a tree just a few days ago. In summary, good on Martin, and good on Musical Zoo for providing me with the quality product I paid for.

Nice guitar but there is a distinction between Spanish and flamenco guitars. It's a common error of many to assume they are one in the same. Yes a classical can be used to play flamenco but often the strings are higher making it somewhat difficult and a tap plate to protect the guitar top is a must if your looking to play much rumba. Flamenco guitars are set up with lowered string height which may or may not be possible to do on a classical depending on the saddle, bridge and nut. Typically, a classical is cheaper but I recommend having a quality string gauge to check if you can lower the strings via the nut, saddle and or bridge and if so research the propper way to do so and install a true tap plate . Also, traditionally, the woods of a flamenco are cypress sides and back with a spruce top as these woods project more where as cedar not so much. Cordoba, does one thing I think all should do and that is providing a truss rod in every guitar and many classical don't. Research before buying , don't be sorry be smart and play first and foremost for yourself because you enjoy it.

Hi The nut width on the Cordoba is 50mm so it will be wider than Taylor’s academy nylon guitar which have 47.6 mm. I don’t have big hands, and I find the neck on the Cordoba very playable and not to wide at all. And the Cordoba is almost half the price. I would try the Taylor first and see if you like it at the price. All I can say is that the Cordoba is really good value, and the pickup system sounds really well too.

@@ChrisEffort The action is still high, I did carefully tighten the truss rod and the neck looks to have just a touch of bow. How much did you take off the bridge - like a mm or ?. The tone you are getting is also sweeter than mine. I am thinking a better set of strings might help there (have the factory supplied on now). Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks man! Yeah I mixed the DI and a large condenser mic and sprinkled a bit of reverb on it.

Thank you! I filed the saddle down a bit to get the action where I wanted it. Action was probably great for someone who likes a little higher action. With classical guitar it’s really a matter of preference, since you tend to loose some tone of it gets too low.

Would you recommend this or the regular C5? I’m thinking of getting one down the line and am not sure if I would need the electronics for a classical

If you don’t need the electronics I’d definitely get the non cut way version. It’s a little more price friendly too.

Det blev jo min guitar! Den er fantastisk, den har netop spillet (uden forstærkning) til et par små arrangementer og bestod. Jeg synes ikke du yder den retfærdighed ved at kalde den en begynderguitar. Jeg har i hvert fald sat to klassiske til salg, som er ok, men Cordoba er god! PS. Skulle du blive træt af din Casino, så er jeg potentiel køber, hvis jeg ikke har fundet min egen inden da.;-)

Hi Bryan The action was a bit high, but it’s easy to sand the bone saddle down with some 120 grit sandpaper. Worked like a charm for me. No buzz or anything.
