Cordoba C5 CE Lefthand Iberia

After viewing the specs and listening to the audio demos on the site, I decided to take the plunge and buy this guitar. I'm a professional guitarist and studio musician so I wanted a guitar to handle studio and performance duties. The C5 CE delivers. Well built beautiful, sound. The only changes I made was to have the edges of the fret smooth down and the strings lowered, which were a bit too high for my personal tastes. I like my strings low as possible, for two hand tapping, etc. After making the changes I'm now extremely happy with this guitar. Lovely to look at, awesome feel and the built in tuner is also very practical and cool. It's early days yet, so I'll give an update in a couple of months, but so far I'm very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended. Now back to Bouree in E minor.

I spent a long time debating between this Cordoba guitar and various Alhambras and ended up going with the Cordoba namely because it has a truss rod, which I wanted to deal with neck changes from the humidity in my area. However, aside from that, I'm very happy with this guitar; the sound is really nice and the quality feels very solid. The guitar is very light and sits nicely on the lap and encourages good posture.

Although I had mixed feelings about the built-in electronics at first, I really appreciate them now. I don't really play this guitar in an amp and don't intend to record it on the line, but having the built-in tuner is very practical for a quick mid-session re-tune (and not needing to keep an ugly headstock tuner on the guitar).

It should be mentioned Cordoba guitars ship with high-tension strings, which may or may not be what you are looking for. This isn't really well documented on the product's description, but it does state this on Cordoba's website.

Habe für meinen Sohn (Linkshänder) die Cordoba C5 CE Lefthand gekauft. Er spielt seit 10 Jahren Gitarre solo und bei Auftritten. Entscheidend für den Kauf neben Linkshändisch der eingebaute Tonabnehmer. Gefallen hat auch das Äußere und die Verarbeitung. Die zugehörige Tasche macht auch etwas her - einziger Kritikpunkt: die Pins für den Gitarrengurt am Corpus musste ich selbst anschrauben - nicht alle Konzerte werden im Sitzen gespielt :-). Fazit: Die Cordoba C5 CE Lefthand ist ihr Geld wert und und enttäuscht auch beim Klang nicht.
