"The Cordoba C5-CE - It's become the centerpiece of all my playing"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

The C5-CE has a very nice and precise sound with the Savarez Cristal-Corums it is strung with at the factory. I am still experimenting with various combinations of basses and trebles to find the optimal sound for me. The C5-CE is a very warm and expressive sounding guitar, and the Fishman iSys does a good job of capturing that.

Feature:

The gig bag that came with it is VERY nice gig bag, but since the C5-CE has a solid top I opted to keep it in a HumiCase. I use the tuner in the Fishman iSys ALL the time. It's much more handy than having the grab a separate tuner, turn that on, etc. I DID hear that the B-Band preamp which was previously used in the C5-CE did sound better than the iSys, and I DO wish I had been able to get a C5-CE with the B-Band system in it, but I wasn't able to find an older stock one.

Ease of Use:

It's a guitar, there was no learning curve involved. It is very easy to make it sound good.

Quality:

The fit and finish all seem top notch. It's certainly fine for use on the road.

Manufacturer Support:

I have not needed any work under the warranty. But I did contact the company about some questions I had, and they were VERY responsive and helpful.

Value:

I think the C5-CE (at least the one I got) is a great value for the money! Quality and sound as good as, or better than, classicals costing double what I paid.

The Wow Factor:

I don't about it's "sex appeal" LOL! It has nice rosewood veneer on the headplate. It's basically what I've come to expect, but it's not really unique or sexy. I bought it for its sound.

Overall:

I expect to use this for a long time. It seems like a real keeper. If it was stolen, I would buy another one immediately.

"i`ll send u my next cd...performed on the c3-c5 cordoba"

Sound:

a good sound for the price....well made guitar.....no buzzing.....great clarity on the high e string....sensitive tuning ...although not as robust as a classical guitar without the pickup....it still has a very stable and sweet sound when played unpluged....it is the perfect transition instrument for those seeking to go from amatuer to professional....because is capable of amplified sound....strap it on your back with the gig bag....pick up your amp....and you still have one free hand left to thumb a ride

Ease of Use:

it`s highly playable....it came off the shelf with brand new saverez strings....so that took awile to settle in

The Wow Factor:

after i got it tuned up ....i launched into pachabel`s canon in d maj ....and my wife of seven years came down into the studio and started taking her clothes off (pics not available)
