I tried a Fusion 12. To me it lacked tone and projection vs the GK.

I hope this helps. |
Many thanks for the reply and the information. Very useful. I am currently beginning to learn classical techniques. But I'm intending using the GK for other genres too. As you rightly say it may not suit those who play only classical. And I also may I time decide to purchase another model for my classical playing. Ian

C9 - Parlor
Can anyone share experience with regard to the C9 - Parlor?
This is the 24.8 scale. |
Mike. Hi sorry I can't help you re the C9. I noticed that you have a GK Studio. I just bought the GK Studio Limited Edition. How long have you had yours and what is your opinion please? Thanks. Ian

FWIW.... My 1st Cordoba was a GK Studio with the cypress sides and back... Loved the light weight and feel. It was a dream to play. :):)
My only reason for selling it was to purchase a GK Pro Negra with rosewood sides and back. I wanted a bit more warmth in the acoustic sound than the Cypress wood provided. Dave |

I bought mine used at a GC. I just picked it up and immediately felt the action was unusually low, which I really liked. With the slim neck profile, it was extremely playable. I think Cordoba is giving a good value for your dollar. As I read a little more about the flamenco guitar, I learned that they set the neck angle to allow for the very low action. The reason I am curious about the C9-Parlor is it has a 24.8 scale, which I think might be a little easier to play. I am concerned that since it is a classical; however, that perhaps they are not made to have the same very low action. I never see them in any stores. How do you like your GK-limited? Is that the Ziracote back and sides? |
I just fooolishly sold an amazing cordoba c10. lot of guitar for the money - especially if you can catch a 15% off coupon at a big box store.

For MikeB1 I have the C10 Parlor, and I love it. I wasn't sure I wanted another guitar with a flat fretboard, but I did want one very nice smaller classical, and specifically cedar over rosewood.
I did have to adjust the neck relief and shave the saddle to get the action where I wanted it, it's about 3.5mm at the 12th on the bass side, 3mm on the treble. I was previously focusing on my steel strings and am used to a radius and 1.75 inch nut width, but really like the feel and shape of the neck and the smaller body. I also like the shorter scale and understated elegance. |

My GK Studio has the Cypress b/s and I was wondering how the tone might differ with the Zirocote. I never got to play one, then I saw the parlor with the 630mm scale, which may be better for me. Enjoy your guitar!!! [QUOTE=TKT;5613232]For MikeB1 I have the C10 Parlor, and I love it.

I didn't realize they had a C10-Parlor. I just looked at the specs and this may be more to my taste. As I see it, the difference is that the C9 is Cedar and Mahogany b/s, whereas the C10 has rosewood b/s. Also, the C10 has an ebony fretboard whereas the C9 has rosewood. Thanks for the information. |
The C9 comes with a spruce or cedar top, as does the C10. You might already know this, but I was not sure after reading the last post.
