Cordoba C5-CET Limited Reviews

Nice guitar

Decent sound with narrow body and good pickup, unfortunately the first fret buzzing when temperature changes and I can't figure how to solve this issue

Good value for money

Even though the place I bought this guitar from is about 9741 km, I receive it in good condition. Love from Borneo

Machine finished frets abysmal

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)

Good

I took it to get a little closer to bossa and the nylon sound , after years of acoustic guitar. The shape and the thin body deserve the purchase , the sound is slightly under the expectations if compared to the sound tests on YT , whether plugged than unplugged. Looks very attractive and cool .
