C3M Classical Guitar

THIS IS A GREAT GUITAR!!! GET ONE! Is a warm rich sound. Get a foot step for classical guitar playing and some music books. Then fire up youtube and listen to the songs, then try a few chords. For < $200.. lifetime guitar.. it's like a time machine.. hours fly by... totally worth it. Rich full deep sound. I was at the music store and played a $2800 guitar.. This was pretty damn close to it. I got this guitar as my good one and then a $100 used guitar for my "beater".. I keep it in a locker at work and noodle on my lunch hour. Make sure to get a nice tuner and a foot step. Best product I bought in a few years. Many thanks to the guitar maker for such a fine product. Also...get a guitar wall hanger mount.. so nice to keep it out of the way when no using. I play it every night before bed.. adding a chord and noodle here and there.. Here's strategy... get a few of these....one for the office for lunch hour, home and one for the car. It's also hand to buy a little tripod camping seat that folds up https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FXVAYW/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_15 and a nice guitar case. Also a nice tuner with extra batteries. I am continually grateful to the makers of this fine instrument. I have been to guitar center and played $3k guitars and this is damn close. I did do one hack with this. I like silky smooth fret ends. So I got some painters blue tape and a guitar file set and taped up the frets after removing the end strings. I filed the frets to a fine rounded end point. There is NO issue with the frets.. it's just my own choice and feel for the instrument. I play non stop and play it like making love to a beautiful women with great care and feeling. In my 50+ years on the planet this is the best darn thing I ever bought. No BS. There is no way this guitar could be improved upon. Now I just need to pick out a Spanish female name for my new love. Get a guitar, learn via Spanish music and enjoy the rest of your life by the camp fire. If I won the lotto tomorrow I'd still be playing this guitar. Sorry for such passion about this instrument, but it's wiped out my mid life crisis...who needs a sports car and chasing women. Get a Cordoba C3. Steve from Buffalo, NY. Ironic... when I play on my lunch hour.. women come around to hear.

I've got no real regrets. The guitar has a natural wood blemish, but I've realized is not an issue. Same goes for the slight imperfection (of glue?) just under the finish on the top of the head of the guitar. The sound is really very decent for a $200+/- student guitar! I've even changed my first pair of strings (not entirely simple on a nylon-stringed guitar). Great guitar to learn to string on and especially to learn to play on. It makes decent sense as a flammenco practice guitar also, so long as you realize you cannot slap the bejesus out of an inexpensively-made classical guitar without wearing out the face of it quickly. But if the alternative is to not slap or to slap gently, still not a bad choice. Flammenco or classical students would probablyu get the maximum value out of this guitar. I don't store it at a constant 70 degrees and have had no problems with the bridge glue coming off the bridge. To thoser who've had that problem, yes it's possible to simply get a poorly glued Cordoba classical at this price range. Put some miles on early to avoid getting locked out of the return window. Also, avoud direct sunlight or playing outside in summer or humid weather, leaving the window down, getting it rained on, etc. It's a delicate instrument by design. Use a soft-lined hard case, even for a cheap practice guitar. You can re-use the case if you care for it even after you graduate to a more expensive guitar.

I bought a Cordoba C3M and after a few months I noticed the bridge was starting to separate from the body. I contacted Cordoba and they immediately sent a replacement at no cost to me. The replacement seemed fine, but this morning I woke up, heard some weird creaking, and then a loud BAM! I look over and this is what I see. The bridge violently ripped off the body. Something is obviously wrong with this model if the bridges keep doing this. I wouldn't even feel comfortable attempting to repair and reattach the bridge looking at the kind of damage the wood suffered. I can't recommend this guitar.

Ich bin anfänger also kann nicht wirklich verurteilen aber ich liebe diese Gitarre. Vollisch aus Holz und sieht voll edel aus. Wer eine Billige hoch wertige klassische Gittarre sucht, wird damit sehr zufrieden glaube ich. Update: nach 9 Monaten bin ich absoluter Anfänger nicht mehr und kann mit sicherheit sagen dass diese Gitarre einfach Klasse ist. Normaleweise sind Klassiche Gitarren leiser als Aqustischen aber die C3M ist ziemlich laut und die Ton ist sehr klar und schön. Kann gut weiter empfehlen, aber leider gibt es die Gitarre auf Amazon nicht mehr!

Excellent

I know nothing about music, this guitar was bought for my 13 years old son. He likes it, and his music teacher says that the instrument is fine. Actually much better than he expected for this price.

Great guitar but 2 strings broke within a couple of weeks so had to replace.

I liked the guitar . But once i received it while first tuning d string cut and all the strings are in bad condition
