Default I've changed my mind on best bang for the buck guitar. Cordoba content

My son has become interested in Classical Guitar. Being a guitar player I didn't let make him wait and bought him a C5. WOW!!! I've never heard such tone in the steel string or electric world for that price! We've had it for a few months now and bloom is still not off the rose!

I even brought in a super package deal ad from amazon to my local GC and walked out with the guitar and a high quality roadrunner gig bag for $299.

Hands down the best $299 I' ve ever spent for a new guitar

I feel like they've gotten even better in the last 5 years or so, too.

Bang for the buck indeed.

I tend to agree with you... I've owned a few 2008-2010 era Cordoba's and I now own some that were made within the past 2-3 years.

There has been a dramatic improvement in the workmanship & quality of their guitars.

I've got a C9 spruce that I've modded a little - it's sent some high dollar instruments down the road. Wouldn't let it go for anything....

They are nice. One of the GC's by me has a small classical only room. The sound from those Cordobas they have is incredible, even in with my fat fingers.

Glad that Cordobas are making more people happy! Here's to hoping that they keep doing whatever they've been doing. I thought that perhaps I was finished buying Cordobas after having bought so many (12) of them. But now I'm feeling tempted to pick up a GK Pro maple to add to my GK Pro blanca and negra. I MUST complete the set!!! Only 13 isn't a lucky number, so naturally I'll HAVE to purchase another one after that.

Cordobas really are a good value. I've been gigging my GK Studio heavily for a few years. I decided I'm relying on it so much I better get a backup so I picked up a second one used.

Without modifications they have great tone both acoustically and electrically, great action, and they look very good.

I do like the D'Addario carbon strings on them.

Thumbtack and Gigmasters have been doing well for me. Last week I played a corporate event and a senior living facility both on weekday afternoons. The senior event was as a strolling guitarist in the dining room. The Cordoba had no problem filling the room acoustically.

This stuff is just made for the Cordoba and goes over really well.

Highly recommended.

I bought a Cordoba C5ce three years ago at a Fathers Day sale at GC. What a deal for $350 with the Coupon. I`ve played the snot out of it and have done a lot of really nice recording with it and it still sounds Gorgeous. What a great Keeper axe!!.
