I bought two of these guitars. One for my husband and one for my son. They love them. Few thing my husband said he would like to see on these guitars. He said a lighted tuners screen would of been nice. Also, you can't get a guitar strap on the back strap button. Mary question did you adjust the truss rod? My husband would like to raise the action a little. Which way do you turn the Allen wrench to raise the action ~ Thank you for the great videos 😊

@SuperEnan2005 - Hi, Glad to hear your son and husband are enjoying the Cordoba EBs! In the case you describe, if the action seems too low he might consider using a shim to bring the bridge saddle up or pick up a new one that is already higher and swap it out. However, If it seems low due to the neck needing a truss adjustment, here is a great stewMac video that will walk through that process and answer all questions so it’s clear and leads to good result… kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLKZ36sl9eShbc On the strap button, a strap with a softer leather should pull over the bulky button, but if they play sitting down mostly, you might want to try the ‘neck-up’ product. It is a nice way to move the instrument into a comfortable playing position and has a variety of pre-drilled holes some of a bigger size that slip right over. That’s what I use on my EB and demo it in my video on the cordoba MN. Long answer, but Hope the info proves useful. Thanks for watching!
