Compared Side by Side with Lucero LC235SCE - Both great guitars

We also did a blind test. I had both new guitars here as reviews were high for both. Since both are made in China and both had the same Fishman electronics they started out even. Unfortunately, the Lucero was picked up in a light weight box from a major guitar store and due to covid, couldn't really pull it out and play it. Once home and the first F chord felt 2 cracks extending… read more down the neck from the nut on the back. Yet it played great, sounded great, stayed in tune, and had beautiful tiger wood. I played them both switching off and other than the crack which would be fixed with an exchange, it played well. The Cordoba was rock solid out of the box. The strings were a little farther apart than on the Lucera but both had the same width neck. My good friend and excellent guitar player came over and I sat him down and gave him both guitars to play while he wore a blindfold. He immediately felt the crack but went on to play beautiful music on it, playing the full neck with never a buzz. Then he played equally beautiful music on the Cordoba. In the end we both knew the right guitar to pick was the Cordoba. The sound texture, playability, and classic build of the guitar shined through. The Lucero was a nice guitar, but the intangibles of the Cordoba made us choose it. Sweetwater was excellent as usual, I bought a very nice Stratocaster from them a year ago and that was flawless also.

Good quality guitar

I received the first classical guitar I've owned. I chose this Córdoba because it fit my budget and I was not disappointed. My initial reaction was how nicely the guitar was with the beautiful glossy finish. The sound and playability of the guitar is exactly what I hoped for. I have no negatives for this Córdoba. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am mine.

Plays smooth and sounds smooth

This is my first Córdoba and I love it. Easily making its way to be my favorite guitar I own. I haven't run into any issues except I think the preamp is a little sensitive and I get a buzz pretty easily so I try to keep it a little low on the gain.

Top Quality As Always

This is my 3rd Codoba and I honestly just can't get over the quality of these amazing guitars. The tone is so rich and deep, you can almost play a bass line with the low E. It just fills so much space and the action is absolutely flawless. These guitars made me give up playing a normal acoustic basically all together. I can not streets enough if you're a beginner or a pro, this… read more guitar will do anything you need. My original Cordoba I got 10 years ago now got messed up when I feel backwards on it in a soft case. It messed up the entire body and cracked it everywhere. I still perform with that guitar, that's the quality of these bad boys!

Very Satisfied New Owner

I’ve played the guitar now for more than thirty years and this is my first classical guitar and I’m very satisfied with both the sound and the build quality. The instrument I received is both light weight, like a classical guitar ought to be, and has a solid feel as well. I’m not sure whether to give Cordoba’s or Sweetwater’s quality control credit but the set up was very… read more nearly perfect right out of the box. I really like the sound of the solid spruce top. It has the warmth I want from a classical guitar with more clarity than the solid cedar topped instruments I played. I knew when I began shopping that I wanted a pickup on my guitar and the Fishman delivers a very good reproduction of the classical guitar sound and feel. I want to thank Sweetwater for a very easy purchase process. Being able to select a specific instrument over the internet was a perk I didn’t expect. Your customer service is second to none and your turn around on the order was amazing. The only way I could have gotten the guitar faster was to but it from a store.
