C5-CET Limited : Machine finished frets abysmal

5 years ago

Sad to see this guitar arrive with razor sharp fret edges!

As a guitar tech of over 10 years, it's no issue for me to run a pad down the side with the strings off and smooth out the fret edges, but I shouldn't have to do that on a 500 pound instrument!! This is 2 minute job in the factory before you put the strings on. I assume the majority of these are sold to students and players who would expect it to play out of the box.

Bad QC! Sadly don't recommend this. Generally I do like the Cordoba guitars, but this is a step down from how they used to arrive (I've purchased the old C5 in Black for several students)
