Sound:
This guitar the Cordoba F7 is exactly what I was looking for I have two very expensive flamenco guitars made by Lester Devoe, I wanted a guitar that I would be able to travel with with no fuss and worry. This guitar was the answer while it dose not sound like a DeVoe, its really no supposed to and would not even be fair to compare the two. That being said, The guitar in my opinion is absolutely amazing for this price point. The sound it good, it has a flamenco vibe to it the back and side are laminate so they don't have the sound of a real blanca that is made with tone wood that is Cyprus. Again this guitar is less than 500.00 The playable was a very nice surprise, all up and down the fret board the notes ring and sound very good. The playability is very easy and feels great on the left hand the neck is very well shaped and there are no frets sticking out on the side of the neck. I installed a Fishman Ellipse Matrix Blend pick and mic and am very happy with the results. I have no reservations in taking this guitar out to gig with. I feel very good about the purchase and would recommend that anyone who is looking for a flamenco guitar and knows that if you really want that Flamenco sound you do need to spend more than 500.00 but if your goal is to have a great guitar that you can play, travel with, take to the beach, parties, fly with and be able to play and have it sound the way a flamenco guitar is supposed to as compared to a classical guitar then this is the guitar for you. I have used the guitar in my studio and have been very happy with the results. My purpose however was for a travel and live playing guitar that I would feel more comfortable with taking out. When playing live in small settings I will be using the Roland BA 330 for my PA.
Feature:
Came with a great light weight gig bag
Ease of Use:
Tune play and rasagados right away and playing rumbas etc.
Quality:
Finish is great, however there seems to be a sligh mismatch in the verner and the center wood stripe, dose not affect the sound at all just a mis to attention when building the gutiar. In no way is this a deal breaker in my opinion. The gutiar looks great and the tunners felt good and keep string in tune, I am used to pegs on my other gutiars.
Value:
To me the price was perfect and with Zzound 4 payments you can pick this guitar up for less than 130.00 a month, no one else offers that as far as I am aware.
Manufacturer Support:
I have contacted Cordoba two times and they got back to me with answers very quick about a hard case, and the best pickup and size to install. They were very kind as well and the information that they gave me was perfect to find a solution.
The Wow Factor:
Looks like and feels like a true flamenco guitar
Overall:
I purchased this guitar to play when I travel, or play out in environments where taking a 8000.00 is just not wise. For me this guitar is a keeper and solves many issues that I was facing while playing in small clubs, bars, restaurants etc. I can use this guitar as well as a teaching guitar for students. It meets my goals and expectations for a good working guitar to travel with and have a pick up and mic installed.
