Cordoba C5CE Classical with Electronics

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

I had originally thought of purchasing the Thinline version, after trying it out, but decided to go with this one, as it was on sale for good price and I can say it was the right choice. This one offers a fuller sound when played unplugged, and it’s overall excellent for the price. Neck is very slightly thinner than your classical guitar (50mm vs 52mm at the nut) and very comfortable. The solid cedar top offers a really well balanced sound and plenty of sustain. I did have to change strings, since one snapped a few hours after receiving it, so I went with D’Addario normal tension (my go to for classical guitars) and she’s good to go. Love the attention to detail, specially in the price range. The only thing I would have added is strap buttons, which it lacks any, but this is not enough reason to give it anything other than a 5 star rating. I definitely recommend Cordoba to anyone looking for a good quality instrument, at an affordable price.

BUZZING IS FIXED!! Exceptional sound, super play-ability, great sound when amplified. Love this little guitar. There have been many complaints of an annoying buzz when playing... mine had this problem, too. I tried all the solutions mentioned - tied down the wiring harness, padded the battery door, reset the saddle... all fixes were only temporary- the buzz returned. At last, I found the solution... HERE IS THE FIX FOR THE BUZZING: the bridge is held on by glue AND by two small nuts and bolts which pass thru the bridge but are covered by the trim inlay on the bridge and thus remain unseen from outside the guitar (on mine, the bolts were between strings 5 & 6 and between strings 2 & 3). Feel under the bridge and you will find that the two hex nuts are loose and they buzz at certain frequencies. Loosen strings, reach inside with 6mm socket & small ratchet handle, feel for the hex nuts and tighten them down...finish with a drop of super glue or Loctite applied with a Q-tip. DO NOT remove the nuts! Nearly impossible to get them back on the bolt, and they may be required to keep the bridge from coming off the quitar when strings are at full pitch. This works!!

The real deal! A really nice guitar, the acoustics is great sounding, a very light and good looking guitar, but I wish the Fishman pickup would be a bit more better sounding with more punch to it, unlike what my Takamine acoustic guitar pickup sounds like, but a really great guitar for the $...

Be careful when you receive it and check all parts of that. The guitar came with the crack on the bottom corner.

This guitar is very good value, but I wouldn't have purchased it were it not for the misleading video. The timbre is duller than the guitar in the video (even after replacing strings).

I purchased this guitar before playing it (something I never do), feeling somewhat nervous about this, however when I bought the guitar. I could see right away that not only was it a beautiful guitar but it sounded great almost instantly with little tuning. So if you're like me and worried about buying a guitar you haven't played personally I can testify that this guitar will give you nothing to worry about! It sounds, looks and feels amazing. With or without an amp the sound is rich and sharp but personally I believe it sounds better through an amp. Worth every cent, and someday down the road plan on buying another Cordoba!

I've been playing for over 40 years (mainly bass guitar). Decided I needed a classical guitar to play and round out my collection. Did a lot of research on classical guitars under $500 and this Cordoba keep coming up. I bought it when Amazon had it on sale. Glad I did. It looks great, plays fantastic. Plugged it in to see how it sounded amplified. I was blown away. I know you're suppose to store your guitar in a case, but this one sits on a stand in the living room and I play it before going to work and before going to bed everyday. I has become my favorite guitar in my collection.

After receiving this guitar in the mail, I quickly put it into standard tuning with the strings provided by the manufacturer. After playing for a few minutes, I sat it down and began looking through some of the documentation that came with it. I heard a loud snap and, too my surprise, the bridge had been torn clean from the body of the guitar. This took all of 10 minutes after opening the box. To repeat, this was in standard tuning and with the strings provided by Cordoba. The guitar was so poorly constructed that this amount of tension ripped the bridge off the instrument. Maybe this is a rare exception, considering the guitar has gotten fairly favourable reviews on amazon.com, but there is no way this should have gotten through quality control. Hopefully Amazon will grant me a refund since it is clearly defective.

I'm not expert on guitars, but to me the C5 seems to be very well built. I also have a Yamaha F310 steel string guitar, which I am also very happy with, but the Cordoba seems much better built. I have not tried it 'plugged in' yet, so can't comment on that. The built in tuner works well. Amazon Prime delivery was quoted as 5 days, but it actually took 12 after several phone calls. Amazon credited my account with £5 for my inconvenience. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase

Bonne guitare, tarif correct

正直、以前に保有していたOvation（楽器店で９万ほどで購入したもの）のエレガットモデルより、よく鳴っている印象です。 特に単音の音は、私の好みでした。全体的に、価格の割りにはよくできており、コスパは高いと思いました。 弾きやすく、入門用なら十分ですし、中級者でも部屋弾きや、気軽に持ち歩く用には良さそうな感じです。

Guitar is a piece of crap. The bridge popped off the other day while it was resting on its stand.
