Cordoba GK Pro Negra

I was very impressed by the acoustic volume of the guitar and it?s great bass response even though the body is quite slim. As primarily an electric jazz player this guitar fulfilled my desire to explore Pat Metheny/Antonio Forcione/Al Di Meola- type nylon string yearnings - just a different voice.

It responds well to pick or fingerstyle and the Fishman preamp is the best I?ve heard with the ability to blend the inbuilt mic and pickup according to taste. There isn?t another guitar in this price range that has similar desirable specs - ebony fingerboard, all solid wood and superior preamp etc., and Thomann was over £200 cheaper than buying this guitar from any UK shop. It?s very light in weight, small and ?cute?, but a lot of fun to play and most importantly - inspiring!

I bought this guitar online and it was delivered to a UK address within a week. I have been playing steel string acoustics for a while and wanted to try a nylon string. In all I’ve probably tested about 3 nylon and 10 steel string guitars over about 30 years. Anyhow this is by far the BEST! I love it. And I can confirm what a previous reviewer said “you can’t put this guitar down”. Very true. In fact it should almost come with a warning. Besides the tone I find it easier to play and it makes you want to rediscover older songs as they sound completely different and refreshed on this guitar. So yes I would strongly recommend this guitar.

I am sure this is a wonderful instrument, but the set up the guitar came with was extremely poor. The strings were a mile off the fretboard, the intonation was terrible. It's a known fact that all new guitars need a professional set up, but this one according to my luthier should have been sent back because the quality is unacceptable at this price range. The guitar was not playable due to the above mentioned issues. Not sure who is responsible for quality control but it seemed it was missed completely from the process. This drags down the overall rating coupled with the several hundreds of euros I need to spend to make this not very cheap guitar playable.
