Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • They are reliable and when their products don't make the cut, they do the right thing
  • Just be aware that every model is unique and while that's a cool thing, it also means that I'm not sure any of them are as pretty as the one Córdoba uses in their promotional pics.
  • I can't say enough good things about it.

Reviews around tune (5.00 of 5)

  • it isn't as vibrant as when tuned to A nonetheless.
  • It does not need to be de-tuned when on the plane, and actually holds it's tuning very well even after a long flight

Reviews around action setup (5.00 of 5)

  • but the action (setup) is impeccable and i assure you i'm a stone stickler in that area once having worked at a music store where i did setups.for

Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • Built in electronics work nicely (though a built-in tuner would be a nice)
  • i found a d'addario micro tuner which just disappears on the headstock and is likely better than one built into the eq

Reviews around tone (5.00 of 5)

  • But it still has a bright tone that can imitate a lute for Baroque music, or a cavaquinho for Brazilian music – which are the reasons why I bought it
  • Bright, harplike tone – can cop a lute or cavaquinho vibe

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • It’s billed as a travel guitar but really is a slightly slimmed down requinto, i.e., a 1/2 sized classical guitar tuned up a 4th like a ukulele
  • The size is perfect for what it is.

Reviews around sound (4.16 of 5)

  • it has a great acoustic sound and fairly good electronics, not as eq ed as the natural sound but with some attack adjustments fine
  • That's the sweetest-sounding among their all-acoustic models.
  • With this size body, you're not going to get a rich, deep sound, but for what it is it sounds great
  • Though I'm not a huge fan of the appearance, except for the cedar top, the sound blows me away for such a small guitar.

Reviews around instrument (3.86 of 5)

  • Cute little instrument, but limited.
  • i own several very nice instruments from ukes to guitars and this cordoba can hold its head up in looks and playability amongst the best of those./guy
  • While this nylon-stringed instrument is stable without one, it would certainly aid in adjusting the action
  • All in all a cute as pie, well made and nice sounding instrument

Reviews around cordoba (3.61 of 5)

  • The Mini is too small to hold like a normal guitar and the strap allows a better playing position.-If Cordoba is going to bother with a preamp they should include a build in tuner.-The gig bag is passable but has thin padding and a thin strap
  • in the past i had tried all (or many of) the mini and travel guitars and found them lacking--mostly in sound quality or, in the case of the martin backpacker and the jamstik, the actual ability to hold them.this cordoba is perfect for my computer use and, as a bonus, is delightful to hold and look at
  • cordoba includes top-of-the-line features and nice details usually not found at this price point
  • but I only like it because while Cordoba got so much right, they also made some mistakes.

Reviews around string (3.37 of 5)

  • immediately.-Would rather have a standard bridge and tie the strings like a classical guitar or ukulele
  • I can also confirm that the treble strings are shockingly lifeless and overly hard making this instrument somewhat useless in standard tuning.
  • So I replaced them with smooth nylon classical guitar strings (D’Addario .0275 and .0285)
  • The Mini is small, comely and, for the money, well made: good fit and finish, bone nut and saddle, cheap but smooth turning tuning heads, good string balance and intonation, well polished frets but a couple slightly messy glue joints
