(More customer reviews)This guitar is GREAT!!! I have been playing classical for about 10 years and studied under two instructors who studied under Manuel Barrueco & Aaron Shearer. I was playing a Cordoba C5-CE but wanted to upgrade to a higher quality instrument and thus began a long and frustrating search. After playing a number of classicals at local guitar centers and sam ash stores in Cleveland, Ohio including some very expensive Ramirez and Rodriguez guitars, I was not satisfied. So i drove 4 hours to Elderly Instruments (best shop around!!!) in Lansing, Mich. Over the course of 4 hours I tested a $1,000 Alhambra 5p cutaway, a few LaPatrie's, a $1,500 Takamine, a bunch a Rodriguez models, and a few Ramirez, including an excellent condition used Ramirez going for $5,000 (probably worth 6K new). It finally came down to the Cordoba c7, solista, and C10. After playing and comparing all 4 against each other, the C10 had the best sound and playability.
The bass notes are full and loud, especially the E. The trebbles are clear and bright, not "tinny", but not soft or muted either. Very well balanced sound/tone, great projection. The spruce top really helps with sound "punch". No neck problems and the action is "Goldi-Locks" (not too high, not too low, but just right). So far, it sounds best with the Savarez 500CJ high tension cristal corum strings (i have tried Di-Addario normals, Savarez rectified red pack HT, and cristal corum 500cj's on my C'dobs.) It is also a beautiful looking guitar with high quality workmanship. Bought it with a Humicase to upgrade warranty to lifetime for only an extra $40 becasue the case handle was slightly bent. Bottom line, a $1,000 guitar plays like a 2K-3K instrument.
