My first nylon string guitar, good choice

I always play steel string guitars. I wanted to try something new. I really enjoy this quality instrument. It is flawless in its construction. It sounds loud and sweet. It is very comfortable to play. I made a good choice. Not easy getting the right guitar online. Sweetwater is a wonderful company. Logan was a big help. The guitar was perfect right out of the box.

Goldilocks

I have two other guitars, a traditional classical and a steel string acoustic. Since receiving this crossover my other instruments sit neglected in their cases. The nut width of the crossover is exactly midway between my other two: not too wide, not too narrow. It is so comfortable to play, I cannot put it down. Wonderful for fingerstyle, it is surprisingly bright and loud.… read more Exactly what I wanted. Out of the box, the neck relief was perfect. The action appears to be set according to Cordoba's specifications. See photo. The action might seem high for steel string players, but keep in mind that nylon strings need more room to vibrate. Still there is room for adjustment. I strongly suggest you have Sweetwater do it, because if you're like me, once you receive your new guitar, you won't want to let go of it to have it set up.

Very Pleased with Cordoba C9 Crossover

I have always been a steel string guitar player. I fingerpick and I flat pick. As I have gotten older my hands are not as strong and tough as they were in the past. I decided to try a nylon string guitar for fingerpicking so I could play longer. First I tried an old classical guitar with a flat fingerboard. Since I was not trying to be a classical guitar player, I was not happy… read more with the flat fingerboard. I did research on the internet and decided the C9 Crossover was what I wanted. I have been very happy with the C9. It accomplishes what I wanted. It appears to be a well made guitar. New from the box, the neck relief needed considerable adjustment and the action at the first fret was a little high. Once setup it plays wonderfully. Of course it sounds like a nylon string guitar but I didn't buy it to compete with my 000-28 or HD-28 for sound and volume. I wasn't sure about the factory strings at first. But now I am happy with the OEM strings. All around a great guitar for a steel string player who wants a nylon string guitar also.

Cordoba C9 crossover

i was very impressed with the instrument. It is very easy to play right out of the case. The quality is exceptional with excellent attention to detail. It is of the quality of the higher end Taylors and Martins. This guitar is unique because it has a radiused neck. It makes it easy to play for guitarists who play typically with steel strings. Case is very nice.
