i really like 'em!
Have you had a chance to try one in person as well as the Yamaha? That video and a few others have my attention. I've looked at the specs on both this and the Yamaha and size and scale they seem to be almost the same--really, really close. The price of the Cordoba is exactly double the Yamaha, but the sound on the videos is so much better that I'm not surprised at all. The Cordoba also comes in a cutaway or with electronics and seems to be made of solid wood, at least the top vs. the Yamaha being all laminate.

However, videos and a good player and technique can make one sound much better than the other. If the same player, same strings were used--the story could be different. That's why I was wondering if you might have had opportunity to play them both (or anyone else reading for that matter.) Thanks.
