Cordoba Protege C1M, 3/4 Nylon String Review

The perfect guitar for our talented player!!!

Our son is 7 years old and has been taking guitar lessons since he was 4.5. He started with a 1/4 size, then moved up to a 3/4 size brand Harvest. He liked the guitar ok, but once our school bought this Cordoba Protege and he got to play it during a lesson, he absolutely loved it and could tell right away it was a superior quality guitar. And he knew that he wanted that guitar to… read more be his!!! We were able to buy it from the school and my son has been loving the sound, the look and the feel of it!! We are very happy with the quality of it!!! Thank you, Cordoba!! We also love the case it came with.

Cordoba Protege 3/4 Scale Excellent

First and foremost, Sweetwater did it again, great service, guitar delivered ontime, well packaged, guitar was wrapped in its inner cardboard box, then placed in a larger shipping box with bubble wrap on the bottom sides and top to avoid rattling around in the box. Slight damage on the outside box but the inside box and guitar were untouched. Bought the guitar for my future daughter-in-law… read more who is very petite so the 3/4 scale guitar is perfect for her to play. I'm not a guitar player but a drummer but been around lots of guitars in my 53 years of life and everything about this guitar looked amazing. If there were any defects I could not spot it. I took it out to inspect it, no damage, bridge, neck, fretboard and tuners all were clean and solid. I know a few chords so I strummed a few cords and everything sounded great atleast to my ears and being a musician I know when a guitar or bass is off or out of tune. Just had to fine tune a few strings just a fraction of a turn and it was ready to go. All the joints looked just as good as any guitar I've seen. And I've seen everything from Breedlove, Ovation, Fenders, Taylor's, you name it. But to my ears it sounded great, I'm sure to a professional guitarist they could pick things out. But for what this guitar will be played for and intended use, I could not be happier. The woods used were flawless, no issues there. But the greatest joy was seeing my daughter-in-law's smile from ear to ear and strummed a few cords and just said "I Love It". What else can you say after that. So for the price and payment plan at Sweetwater it was something I want to say "Thank You" for the deal on it and quick delivery. Hope to post a video of her playing it in a future video review. Again, if your just starting out or your a person with smaller hands, this 3/4 scale guitar is worth the price. Thank John

Protege

Today I received my new Protege. Christie T. was my sales rep. She was super knowledgeable and helpful. For someone who is just learning to play guitar, this guitar feels very comfortable when playing, super light. Highly recommend for someone just starting out.

Wow, Great Guitar - worth every bit and more!

The guitar was delivered about a week ago and I have to say that I love it. It's a perfect size because I do a lot of my practice and composing on the couch. As for the guitar, it's really nice! The craftsmanship is perfect, with no blemishes or glue showing anywhere - inside or out. It's really a fine build. Now for the sound... it really sounds good. Though, I would have… read more liked a bone nut and saddle instead of the plastic that it came with. I'll swap that out myself. It has some nice wood for the fretboard and bridge (real rosewood). As for the top,l it comes with a nice grained genuine spruce which really adds to the sound. It has depth and good projection for being a nylon string guitar. The guitar is lightweight and responds beautifully to a soft touch and yes, you can dig in a bit for a robust sound if needed. The bottom line, it's a sweet guitar for the price. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot but yet would like a nylon string guitar for whatever their purpose. Grab one, you'll be glad you did.

Cordoba Protege C1M 3/4 size

Just right for me with really good sound. During my younger years I played a lot but along came a career and there was no time. Now that I am retired, I wanted to start playing again but none of my older guitars had the right feel for me. This guitar is a joy to play. I am now back to the beginning, playing everyday and loving it.
