Cordoba Fusion 14 Maple.
What a heap of rubbish. Laminated Flamed Maple back and sides. That, they don't tell you in the full specs - they oughta !!
What point is there in putting an Ebony fingerboard on ANY Nylon string guitar , Elec / Acoustic or otherwise, if it has Laminated back and sides ? That's just plain dumb. As for the Fishman Presys PreAmp Piezo : Total garbage. |

Would you call Ramirez a bunch of garbage?
https://www.forsyths.co.uk/guitars/c...ez-2ncwe-.html This guitar, which works out at around $2,700, has a solid cedar top and laminated rosewood back and sides. I played one in GC in 2007, where they were asking $2,500, I think, and I should have bought it. It was a gorgeously constructed instrument and sounded divine. I've also played the 'garbage' you mention (the 12-fret model, which I prefer). It's a very nice guitar and very competitively priced. As a matter of fact, it's on my 'maybe' list. Laminated back and sides do not add up to a crap guitar unworthy of a high quality fretboard. |

a Cordoba C10 and a Cordoba F7 and I am very happy with both. One is clasical with solid woods and the F7 Flamenco has laminated sides and back but still sound super. What is it that you dislike about your guitar, Sound, build quality, or ????? Norman2

Having owned many nylon and steel stringed guitars with laminated back and sides, and with solid back and sides... I don't get your outrage/disgust. Having a solid top is the biggest difference and what really counts. Despite my current main gigging nylon being a Cordoba FCWE Reissie with all-solid construction, I just ordered a Rodriguez FLMOD550 (laminated body) as a backup and expect it to be a fine guitar. As far as Cordoba goes, I also owned a 55FCE, GK Pro and GK Studio... ALL were great guitars and most definitely NOT "garbage". In fact, I'd rate the Chinese GK Pro the best of them... (both the FCWE and 55FCE were made in Spain).
