• Negra is worth the wait!

  
  As reviewed by Manny on 7/25/2011

  I received my GK Studio Negra late June after a much anticipated wait, but finally it has arrived at Guitar Center. I purchased mine from guitar center and the guitar experts at GC worked so hard in collaboration with Cordoba to get this model to me before it was available online. Ive owned this guitar for less than 4 weeks and have to say is superb to hold. Dont let the Spanish Flamenco Body Depth fool you, it is light, comfortable, thinner body but boast a deep, rich, full sound that you wouldn't expect to come from its size. Don't get me wrong, compared to a dreadnought acoustic guitar it holds very little ground, but by itself or amplified with the amazing fishman electronics it possess just outdoes itself. At first I was really gentle with it but after a week or so just got into it and this guitar can take a licking (no pun intended). It is very durable so far but im not afraid to play it at its full potential with the lifetime warranty (with a purchase of a HumiCase) from cordoba, which extents Guitar Centers warranty as well from i believe 3 years to 10 years from pretty much anything. Right out of the box the guitar looked immaculate, but after further inspection there were some little issues. The pick guard had a stain on it probably when installing it, thinking it was on the guitar i was able to lift the guard up and it was on the guard not the guitar. Cordoba has then sent me a free replacement which GC will install for me. The action was great and low but as all guitars could use a set up with an expert. The tuning keys are beautiful black with gold, the only part was some of the gold leafing was missing upon very close inspection and was nothing but cosmetic. Some of the individual keys were a little tight but can be adjusted. You really cant go wrong with a Cordoba, affordability with beauty and function. Not to mention, great customer service. Every email i sent them was replied quickly and professionally, also to get a guitar before it was listed on sale is just phenomenal. Thanks.

• Good value for the money

  I've recently ordered a GK Studio Negra from a local Guitar Center store and received a few weeks later. I must say it's the best $600+ guitar out there! The guitar is light and easy to play. Whether you are playing flamenco or other styles, the low action enables you to play with ease. The tone is crisp on the nylon strings and bouncy on the bass strings. You can't go wrong with this guitar.

• Worth Every Cent!

  I went in to the Guitar Center to buy a new guitar, and when presented with all the options at the store it became very difficult to decide. To pick just one guitar that works best overall for one's own style, with great sound quality, plus great craftsmanship. Needless to say I had a tough job at hand. When most active players choose a guitar like this you often know exactly the style it's being used for, but there are many more options about this guitar that were a must for me. The Guitar's head stock has an intricate gold and black design that holds the tuners and adds a class touch. The back is made of Rosewood unlike the regular GK studio which is Cyprus. Playing live is one thing, but what about when you need something for the studio? I compared to other classical guitars in the store the sound was definitely warmer and richer for recording in the studio. That's where the guitar lives now is in the studio :) Yes, it costs more that the standard GK, but in my book it's well worth every cent. Thank you Cordoba!
