Review: Reasonable guitar - I am giving this instrument 5 stars not because its perfect but b/c i got exactly what i was expecting. A good instrument for a good price. I am the owner of a Music academy and also teach 40 students. I was looking for a guitar that i could recommend to a student and be confident that they would enjoy playing it. I think this is the one. I've had it only 1 day and played it for maybe 4 hours but it feels nice, looks great, and is everything a student could ever need/ want. -body has no imperfections or bowing. The bridge is well in place which i was worried about after reading another review. -neck feels great, not as thick as a typical classical (which is nice) but just as wide. -frets are not a problem although i will smooth the edges just a touch(they are fine I just like a super smooth feel when going up the neck) -plugged in sounds pretty good(not super good but exactly what i should at the price) -tuner in guitar is actually very nice and well lit. Also it came with a clip on tuner... Idk why they include a tuner when it has a built in tuner but its a nice surprice What i will end up replacing (not b/c it needs but b/c i just like working on my guitars) -nut -bridge -saddle -tuning machines -pick ups
Review: Excellent Instrument for the Money - I had originally thought of purchasing the Thinline version, after trying it out, but decided to go with this one, as it was on sale for good price and I can say it was the right choice. This one offers a fuller sound when played unplugged, and it’s overall excellent for the price. Neck is very slightly thinner than your classical guitar (50mm vs 52mm at the nut) and very comfortable. The solid cedar top offers a really well balanced sound and plenty of sustain. I did have to change strings, since one snapped a few hours after receiving it, so I went with D’Addario normal tension (my go to for classical guitars) and she’s good to go. Love the attention to detail, specially in the price range. The only thing I would have added is strap buttons, which it lacks any, but this is not enough reason to give it anything other than a 5 star rating. I definitely recommend Cordoba to anyone looking for a good quality instrument, at an affordable price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this guitar have a high action from the 10th fret onwards? Would the action be that of a classical guitar or a steel string acoustic?**
A: This is a traditional classical guitar, so the action will be consistent with a classical guitar. The only difference with this model is the cutaway. That being said, our shop can adjust the action of the instrument before shipping. If you prefer lower action, let us know. There are limits to how low it can be, however.

**Q: How does the c5 spruce compare to the c7 sp??**
A: Both are solid Spruce top, the C5 has laminate mahogany back/sides, C7 has laminate Indian Rosewood back/sides.

**Q: Where is this guitar made? is it in china?**
A: Yes, it is made in China.

**Q: is this the full 52mm nut width?**
A: No, the nut width is a little smaller = 50mm (2 inches).
Please let us know if we can help you.
Sincerely,
Calido Guitars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ FOUND THE CURE FOR THE BUZZING ON CORDOBA GUITARS
*by A***R on October 3, 2017*

BUZZING IS FIXED!! Exceptional sound, super play-ability, great sound when amplified. Love this little guitar. There have been many complaints of an annoying buzz when playing... mine had this problem, too. I tried all the solutions mentioned - tied down the wiring harness, padded the battery door, reset the saddle... all fixes were only temporary- the buzz returned. At last, I found the solution... HERE IS THE FIX FOR THE BUZZING: the bridge is held on by glue AND by two small nuts and bolts which pass thru the bridge but are covered by the trim inlay on the bridge and thus remain unseen from outside the guitar (on mine, the bolts were between strings 5 & 6 and between strings 2 & 3). Feel under the bridge and you will find that the two hex nuts are loose and they buzz at certain frequencies. Loosen strings, reach inside with 6mm socket & small ratchet handle, feel for the hex nuts and tighten them down...finish with a drop of super glue or Loctite applied with a Q-tip. DO NOT remove the nuts! Nearly impossible to get them back on the bolt, and they may be required to keep the bridge from coming off the quitar when strings are at full pitch. This works!!
