I finally decided to return the Cordoba GK Studio at GC and replace it with the Yamaha NXT 700. The main reason is not because of the unplugged sound (both guitars are great although the Cordoba is a bit louder) but because of the plugged in sound. The Yamaha ARP system is really superior, and it sounds awesome on my Fender Acoustasonic 30.
I am really enjoying the NXT 700, however although the nut's lenght is similar to the Taylor nylons, I noticed that the strings spacing at the nut is much narrower, i.e. there is a lot of room on the two sides of the neck.
Therefore, while on paper the NXT 700 has a 1 7/8 nut width, in reality it plays like a guitar with a 3/4 neck. Nothing wrong, but if you have large hands it is more difficult to play because the nylon strings oscillate much more than steel strings.
