• the right guitar

  
  As reviewed by Monty Brecheen on 4/5/2011

  After trying several guitars to that would allow me to continue to play with my aging arthritic hands I chose the Cordoba 7/8. The action is good and eases the stress on my hands. The guitar itself has great deep tone and a class look.

• A Great Classical Guitar

  
  As reviewed by Lindy on 7/4/2011

  I bought this guitar four months ago and it has quickly become my main preforming guitar. The sound is warm yet relaxing. A variety of styles can be played on this guitar; in one set I preform classics from Tarrega and Carcassi, Scott Joplin's The Entertainer, and Blackbird by the Beatles. Since the guitar is 7/8ths, not only is it spoiling my small womanly fingers, it's easy to pack for gigs. It's light, so gigging with this guitar is easy. It's easy to navigate around the neck, although I wish I got a cutaway. The 13th fret is reachable, but I start struggling after that. Aside from that, the neck itself is perfect. I have awesome speed on the fretboard. The neck is just the right size. I have a uni directional mic for live gigs and always crank the reverb. The sustain is good, but the reverb just makes it sing. This guitar has to be amped to preform with. Otherwise, when unamped, it makes a great lounging guitar; Great for around a camp fire or just noodling at home with friends. I am very pleased with the Dolce and next time I need a guitar I will look into Cordoba first. I am surprised by the pricing of this guitar. You won't find something this good in a price range this cheap.

• Outstanding!!

  
  As reviewed by Jeff Smith on 1/16/2012

  I got the Cordoba Dolce guitar about a month ago. It is an outstanding guitar. Don't let the 7/8 size turn you off by thinking it won?t deliver a good sound. I have three other name brand nylon string guitars that are full size (standard size) and they all have solid cedar tops. I did a side by side sound test and to my surprise the Dolce has a louder volume and a much nicer tone than any of them, I kid you not!! The slighter smaller body is more comfortable to hold. The smaller nut-width of 50mm in comparison to the standard 52mm makes it easier to play and the 24.75? scale length which is the same scale length as Gibson electric guitars but, ?? shorter than the standard scale length on a classical guitar, is a joy for smaller hands like mine. The craftsman ship is flawless and the tuning keys keep the strings in tune for a long while. It comes with a padded gig bag which is a bit big for this guitar. It holds a standard size classical guitar in it comfortably. I?m thinking Cordoba Company decided not to design a perfect-size bag for this guitar in order to keep the cost down. I guess if the looseness bothers you, then you can line the bag with more soft foam padding. Cordoba website?s spec for this guitar says there are dot inlays on 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th frets but mine came with only three dots, on 5th, 7th and 9th fret. But that?s adequate for your fingers to find their way around on the fret board. I absolutely love this guitar. I bought this guitar on sale, but it?s also worth every penny of the regular price.
