Another vote for Cordoba. I was recently in a similar hunt to yours (see my other posts for more detail). The guitar that finally "nailed" it for me was a Cordoba Orchestra CE. It is at the upper end of the "Fusion" line of solid top, laminated B&S models. This model is cedar over rosewood. Really couldn't afford the $800 price tag, but was able to find one in mint condition w/gig bag for just over $500.
The acoustic sound (which was my main decision point) is rich, wonderful, and clear toned with a "bell like" quality. The plugged-in sound is fine for the price point, but does require some quality "conditioning" if used for high quality recording. Six months + into owning the Orchestra w/zero "buyers remorse." Happy hunting, and let us know where you land and what you think...

I read a review in Classical Guitar Magazine:
http://classicalguitarmagazine.com/g...sical-guitars/ Tried a used CC7HCEAR at a local shop. It was really nicely put together, palyed and sounded quite good. Did not get to try the electronics. If I was looking for a new inexpensive crossover, this would have been the one, especially at the $449 used price. It is still there at Music-Go-Round in Albuquerque, NM. Unfortunately shipping would be $60. Nice one. |

I like how the spell check treated the CC7HCEAR in your quote! :-)

Although I see many quite nice Crossover nylon string guitars, I am not a fan of the narrower neck profile. I am always disappointed after playing them for any length of time. Specifically the 1st "e". Too close to the edge. Perhaps it is my less than optimal technique!

I just bought a brand new 2019 Cordoba Fusion Orchestra CE with a Cedar top at GC last week.
I paid 679.15 (That was 15% off) I can't say enough good things about this guitar. It was an incredible bang for the buck. Last edited by Bear Davis; 02-24-2019 at 01:37 PM. |

I am looking for a classical acoustic electric where price in not an issue. In fact, I would like to find a nice high end classical with built in electronics.
Any suggestions? Is there such a thing? Steve

I've just recently played a Taylor Academy 12-ne (nylon with factory pickup) and I was blown away by this guitar. And I'm so NOT a Taylor guitar guy. I played it again today through my amp (Bose S1) and was even more blown away. $699 retail. I'm looking for a used one or a deal but even at that price it's a steal.
