Córdoba Mini II EB-CE
A few years ago, I bought one of the Córdoba mini series, the “SM-CE” model.
This is the 20” scale model with cutaway and pickup. This is a nice little guitar, well suited for the chord-melody stuff I play and with the short scale and compatible nut width, easy on older hands.
A couple of shortcomings... The 20” scale is designed for tuning to “A”, and if you wanted to tune to “E” you needed a special string set. Also, the pickup furnished seemed to work well in “A” tuning but if you put on the “E” string set it was way overbalanced on the bass side and is essentially not useable.
So now we have the new, improved model, the Mini II EB-CE. This has a 22” scale, which (reportedly) tunes to “E” without needing special strings, and an improved pickup.
Also, it’s a bit cheaper than the original model that I have.
Tempted, but the problem I find is that these rather “niche” guitars have little re-sale interest.
