Cordoba Classical Guitar C3M Model

Arrived safely and in one piece. The build quality and finish is amazing. It’s such a beautiful guitar, pictures don’t do it justice. The instrument plays very well, and mine did not buzz or have any other issues out of the box like I’ve heard a few people report in their reviews, it just needed to be tuned up and it was playing beautifully.

THIS IS A GREAT GUITAR!!! GET ONE!
Is a warm rich sound.
Get a foot step for classical guitar playing and some music books.
Then fire up youtube and listen to the songs, then try a few chords.
For < $200.. lifetime guitar.. it's like a time machine.. hours fly by… totally worth it.
Rich full deep sound. I was at the music store and played a $2800 guitar..
This was pretty damn close to it.
I got this guitar as my good one and then a $100 used guitar for my “beater”.. I keep it in a locker at work and
noodle on my lunch hour.
Make sure to get a nice tuner and a foot step.
Best product I bought in a few years.
Many thanks to the guitar maker for such a fine product.
Also…get a guitar wall hanger mount.. so nice to keep it out of the way when no using. I play it every night before bed.. adding a chord and noodle here and there..
Here’s strategy… get a few of these….one for the office for lunch hour, home and one for the car.
It’s also hand to buy a little tripod camping seat that folds up https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FXVAYW/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_15 and a nice guitar case. Also a nice tuner with extra batteries.
I am continually grateful to the makers of this fine instrument. I have been to guitar center and played $3k guitars and this is damn close.
I did do one hack with this. I like silky smooth fret ends. So I got some painters blue tape and a guitar file set and taped up the frets after removing the end strings. I filed the frets to a fine rounded end point. There is NO issue with the frets.. it’s just my own choice and feel for the instrument. I play non stop and play it like making love to a beautiful women with great care and feeling. In my 50+ years on the planet this is the best darn thing I ever bought. No BS. There is no way this guitar could be improved upon. Now I just need to pick out a Spanish female name for my new love. Get a guitar, learn via Spanish music and enjoy the rest of your life by the camp fire. If I won the lotto tomorrow I’d still be playing this guitar. Sorry for such passion about this instrument, but it’s wiped out my mid life crisis…who needs a sports car and chasing women. Get a Cordoba C3. Steve from Buffalo, NY. Ironic… when I play on my lunch hour.. women come around to hear.

This is the first cordoba guitar I have owned and very excited about it. I owned a Yamaha classical guitar prior to this and I could make the difference in the sound and the build quality. It is light but the sound it produce is better then any other classical guitar under this category. I am very satisfied with the purchase .Leaving aside, the quality of the guitar, the best catching point was the service provided by the seller . I purchased this classical guitar though amazon and the seller ie. Musikshack, Pune India , last 3 to 4 months back. The first guitar I received had a problem with the bridge, so I gave an option for replacement through amazon and to my surprise the representative of Musikshack called me the very next day and inquired about the problem and instructed me to fwd the picture of the guitar. The very next day the rep called up and informed me that the product will be picked up for replacement from the addressed delivered.As said the guitar was picked up by the courier service the next day. After 2 to 3 weeks the replacement was received in my address. However, on opening the box I saw cracks in the back of the guitar maybe probable due to mishandling by the courier service. I called up the rep of Musikshack and informed after the issue and fwd a picture of the same. The rep instructed the same exercise of the first replacement. Accordingly, the guitar was picked up from my address and after 2 to 3 weeks got the replacement which was perfect . The rep of musikshack is praiseworthy for their professionalism in dealing with the customer..Kudos…

I’ve got no real regrets. The guitar has a natural wood blemish, but I’ve realized is not an issue. Same goes for the slight imperfection (of glue?) just under the finish on the top of the head of the guitar. The sound is really very decent for a $200+/- student guitar! I’ve even changed my first pair of strings (not entirely simple on a nylon-stringed guitar). Great guitar to learn to string on and especially to learn to play on. It makes decent sense as a flammenco practice guitar also, so long as you realize you cannot slap the bejesus out of an inexpensively-made classical guitar without wearing out the face of it quickly. But if the alternative is to not slap or to slap gently, still not a bad choice. Flammenco or classical students would probablyu get the maximum value out of this guitar. I don’t store it at a constant 70 degrees and have had no problems with the bridge glue coming off the bridge. To thoser who’ve had that problem, yes it’s possible to simply get a poorly glued Cordoba classical at this price range.

Put some miles on early to avoid getting locked out of the return window. Also, avoud direct sunlight or playing outside in summer or humid weather, leaving the window down, getting it rained on, etc. It’s a delicate instrument by design. Use a soft-lined hard case, even for a cheap practice guitar. You can re-use the case if you care for it even after you graduate to a more expensive guitar.
