Cordoba Mini on the way...

[SimplyLuo]

Looks fun... found some videos showing differences between the three models

For those of you who have a Mini, there's an option of getting strap buttons installed at the heel and neck -- do you find these necessary?

Between the Ovangkol, Mahogany, and Rosewood, which one do people find the loudest? Is that the R?

Thanks!

I've found the rosewood to be the loudest, but the differences aren't huge. I installed my own strap button (lower bout end) and then use one of these and strap to it.

I have the Rosewood Mini. After demoing all 3 wood combos it was clear to me that the Rosewood was the loudest, and also the nicest sounding, to me at least. I have a leather headstock strap button loop that i fitted beyond the nut, under the strings. No drilling required, it serves the purpose well and it looks great.

Thanks! When you say you have a loop beyond the nut on the headstock, is the other end attached to a strap button on the lower bout (where a pickup jack would be?)
