Cordoba C5 Classical Guitar - Review
After weeks of searching, researching and trying out a bunch of acoustic brands, I have finally found what I was looking for. The Cordoba C5 is a full sized acoustic guitar with a warm, rich and deep tone. My Cordoba has no 'buzzing' at all. When I had to make a decision in choosing an acoustic, it not only had to look nice and produce this warm deep sound but my acoustic should have a truss rod as well.
About truss rods
Although it is not traditional to have truss rods in the classical world, thank God this Cordoba C5 comes with one. With the option of having a truss rod you are now able to have the adjustability to setup the guitar to taste or to make an adjustment as the guitar reacts to the environment ones it gets out the shop.
The thing with truss rods is that they can overweigh the neck. This truss rod in the C5 is no more heavier than the wood that is used to put it in. The truss rod is custom designed for the C5 and you can hardly feel it in the neck. To me this is more of a benefit that the C5 has a truss rod rather than something I should be concerned about and it is nice to have that protection. It is wood after all.
The neck
The C5 has a wide neck for classical playing with a low action. It comes with Savarez nylon strings but I've changed these with d' Addario J45 strings. It now has a great playability and it sounds much better. Other then the action, there are no flaws with the guitar, the intonation and finish are just awesome. The Cordoba C5 has a deep, dark and a highly resonant sound than the rest of the classicals I have tried (even at $5000 range) at Guitarcenter. The sound of it is just excellent. Just love the deep bass sound.
This Cordoba C5 works perfectly and stays in tune. Do not change the strings a day before a gig otherwise you will have to tune and re-tune the whole night. I would highly recommend this guitar for mainly classical style.
One more thing ... don't just purchase a classical guitar on the internet, just because of the looks and without really trying the guitar first. You should at least go to a guitar store and play a bunch of them in order for you to know that it has the appropriate action for you. Only then you will know that you are making a good choice and then purchase on the internet.
Enjoy yours!
