I ordered my Crodoba Protege classical guitar on Sunday evening and received it on Thursday!! The guitar is absolutely beautiful and the wood literally glows. The workmanship is awesome and the sound is clear and it has a good volume and sustain. The only problem with this guitar is that the edges of the fret bars are very rough and sharp. If you're not careful, you could scratch or cut the tips of your fingers. This problem is very inconstant with Cardoba guitars, which are known for high quality guitars. I fixed them with a metal nail file and they were fine. Even with the fret problem, this guitar is still worth the price.

Musical Background:

I've played musical instruments almost my entire life. I play the guitar, piano, accordion, organ, flute, recorder, I teach gu

Musical Style:
