Reasonable guitar
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

Finally - high quality at a great price. Love this guitar
Just received and opened 20 minutes ago. Incredible quality in the build, playability, tone, how the neck feels. The whole thing. Nice surprise to see a truss rod wrench as well. I'm really happy to see guitars in this price range that offers all of this type of quality and satisfaction. I think this is the first classical type that I've seen with a truss rod. Might be a standard thing now but the Ovation nylon string didn't and also the tuner broke as well. And that was the same price point. btw - the Ovation was not purchased through Amazon.. Which is why I'm now purchasing through Amazon. Very happy with the music coming out of this new Cordoba and excited to hear how it will sound and ply as it settles in.

Excellent Instrument for the Money
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.

FOUND THE CURE FOR THE BUZZING ON CORDOBA GUITARS
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!!

Poor build quality
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.

Really Nice Guitar
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 $...

Great guitar, very useful.
This replaces my original C5-CE. I loved the original model, which is a more conventional "classical" with a chunky neck. I also have a GK Studio [something - can't remember the suffix]. I always wished I could have a truss rod and a more contemporary neck profile on the "classical" guitar. Imagine my surprise when I saw this revision - my dream came true. This one sounds practically identical to my old one, which I need to unload - it's sitting in a shipping box now. I can't think of any legit criticisms. Any faults in the design and construction are really compromises, and they are the right decisions IMHO.

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

Defective
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.

Great build quality and sound
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

なかなかなもの。
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。
