It is not a particularly pretty neck, but for $329 I'm not complaining.

I sound so much better on this guitar when I'm playing Flamenco, the lower action, the easier string tension, the more comfortable neck, the tap plates, the lighter weight...

Forget about the looks and concentrate more on the sound both guitars are easy playing but the cordoba has the nicer buttery smooth neck.

Even though it's "standard" sized, the neck is very comfortable.

I wanted to commit to learning flamenco, but like so many others I did not have $2K to drop on a decent flamenco guitar (actually a good one will run you $3-$6K or more)
