I am blown away with the sound from this little guitar. It is loud! I read that the 12 fret fusion models sounded better acoustically than the 14 fret models. I played a 14 fret rose and several of the gk series a few weeks ago but none of them sounded this good. The neck is so nice it fells like it was made for my hand with easy access to the 19th fret. Action was a tad high for my taste but the neck was dead straight and no buzzing or dead spots anywhere. Frets are level and smooth on the edges. The wood on mine is beautiful. Nice book-matched spruce and straight grained rosewood accented with mahogany purfling and a flawless finish make for a visually beautiful guitar. But the best part is the tone. I should have tried a cedar top too but this spruce top is really amazing sounding. This baby stacks up to any nylon string that I have played at a fraction of the cost and the most comfortable neck I have ever wrapped my hand around. The pickups sound awesome. I don't know if I got lucky or they all sound this good . I have to drive a very long way to get to a decent guitar store so I'd rather try it out first but you cant go wrong with a 30 day return policy and pay as you play. I didn't think my search would be over so quick but I'm glad it is. Thanks zzounds!

I learned to play guitar on a Western Auto Silvertone steel string. After mastering chords and some symbalence of rhythm I moved on to a nylon string guitar where I learned to do some basic finger picking. Always liked the sound of a nylon stringed guitar. As I got older I moved on to the larger dreadnaught Martin D28 and it goes without saying the sound of a good Martin is very good. Now that I am older(61) and some arthiritis I wanted to try and find a smaller bodied guitar. Maybe a classical but remembered how wide the neck was on my old classical guitar so started researching and ran across the Cordoba web site and started reading about their Fusion Orchestra CE Classical guitar. I liked the smaller neck Cordoba used. I also liked the light weight and smaller size. It took me a while to get used to the sound of the guitar. I have always believed that a person needs to learn how to strike the strings to get that guitar's benefits. After spendings about two months playing the Cordoba I am starting to get the good sound this guitar has. This is a fine guitar for the money you spend. Play this instrument and discover the wonderful sounds within.

This Cordoba Fusion Orchestra just arrived today. Right out of the box this guitar sounds full and sweet. Quite playable and with the good Savarez strings. I may eventually have it set and lower the action just a bit, but that is normal with a new guitar. Amplified, so far, I am pleased with the sound. The Fishman electronics sound great. The tuner works well. It has good bass response and the trebles have a sweet tone. Intonation is spot on. This guitar is quite responsive throughout its range. This is an excellent instrument at its price point, for the purpose I need it for.One negative comment: It might be nice to have a more decorative bridge, rosette too perhaps.As usual, thanks to zZounds, they are great. This guitar arrived in an amazingly fast amount of time, particularly considering the COVID-19 situation.

Before I say anything about the guitar I need to say something special about zZounds. 12 equal payments for this fabulous instrument, are you kidding me? As long as zZounds sells what I need I will always buy from zZounds. The guitar is great. The Orchestra model is worth the extra $. I also bought the Gator case which is vault like protection. What sold me was the feel of the neck was made for steel string and electric guitar players. If you've ever wondered why traditional classical guitar necks feel like a baseball bat there's a reason. Classical guitars from the past (1500, 1600, etc) had NO TRUST ROD so the neck had to be really big. Why haven't they changed that in the modern era? Tradition is a hard habit to change so thank God Cordoba used some common sense.
