This seems to be a great classical guitar for intermediate players. After playing electric guitar for a few years, I began playing classical guitar 3 years ago. I started with a used Dean Espana solid cedar top guitar with D'Addario Pro Arte normal tension strings. I replaced the nut and saddle with bone ones, and tailored the saddle to optimize the intonation at the 12th fret. I felt it was time to upgrade to the Cordoba C7. I debated whether to get cedar or spruce, and decided on spruce, in part because it was (for whatever reason) going at guitar center, musicians friend, and amazon for the exact same price, which was 30% less than normal. I understand that spruce guitars are supposed to be brighter sounding, with a less boomy bass. The sound is as I thought, but only slightly so. The heavier Savarez Cristal Corum strings reduce the brightness, so for the very high frequencies, it is about the same as my cedar guitar, but the bass is less boomy and more controlled with the actual bass tone gong deeper, but not so loud. What I was most impressed with was the evenness of tone, the precise intonation up and down the neck -- that's good, because there really is no remedy to intonation issues beyond the basic 12th fret adjustment to the saddle. The build quality is amazing. I looks perfect and the setup was great just the way it was. I'm an engineer, and I love to fiddle with the mechanical details of my guitars, but in this case I have not made any adjustments to the saddle, nut, or truss rod. I'm really happy with it the way it is. I think when its time for a change, I may shoot for strings with a tension somewhere between the D'addario normal and Savarez high tension strings -- more research required.

Seems like the guitar l received today has been sitting for a long while in the warehouse cause 2 of the base strings blew up! Either that or the quality of the strings is extremely low. You would think Cordoba will provide better strings for a $600 guitar.

It's good to play classical music 🎶

less than a week after purchasing the guitar, the D-string snapped. Bad luck, eh? 2-3 weeks later, the A-string popped. Weird, ya know? Today the E-string broke. Overnight. While on its stand. By contrast, my Baby Taylor needs new strings badly... but then again, the Taylor’s strings are *10* (Ten) years old (heavily played for the last 18 months). I don’t know what happened or why. But I know what it feels like: cost cutting on the product. And that leaves a bad taste, because now I’m left wondering what other corners Cordoba cut. Hard to push that worried feeling away once it’s set in.
