Who’s Cordoba C5 for?
Cordoba is among the most trusted brands in this segment of the market. This guitar truly emerges from all other entry-level options. It’s one their cheapest guitars, but don’t let that put you off – it’s totally worth it, you get the feel of a premium instrument for a very low price.
It’s one of those guitars that you can say “it plays itself”.
Once you start playing Cordoba C5 literally you can’t put it down, because of its beautiful tone, rich and clean sound, it’s a joy to play.
Paired with the right strings it’s just perfection. Initially it came with Savarez which i think were either normal or low tension strings, I remember it was so easy to play and it has this warm sound.
It’s a top-selling guitar for a reason and it’s perfect for people just getting into nylon-string guitars.
It could be a good upgrade even for intermediate guitarists, when you switch from a an entry level guitar which most players pick up before they start to get more serious, not knowing if they’ll like it with Cordoba you’re more likely to stick to your practice and enjoy the journey. With Cordoba C5 you notice how your playing improves without too much effort, that’s when you know the guitar is good.
Build – What’s it made of?
It’s lightweight meaning you’ll enjoy a comfortable play and lightweight instruments generally resonate and sound better than the heavy ones.
Its back is made from flame mahogany which is a particular cut of mahogany tree, the flame like figure is produced by cutting from where a branch meets the trunk. It is very expensive and often used in building high-quality furniture.
