  • Great Beginner Guitar

    Great for a beginner (or anyone, it's a great guitar - but as a beginner I'll speak to that side). The nylon strings are easier to press down on than regular steel strings (also super easy to strum with or without a pick) and the small size / super light weight makes it easier to practice at home, travel with, take to lessons, etc. Softer, gentler sound than a regular guitar (sounds "pretty" even when you're a beginner still making a bunch of mistakes -- this was crucial for me to want to keep practicing and not annoy myself or the neighbors too much). Recommend for campfire, singer/songwriter, folk, pop, soft rock, regular rock songs (open chords, gentle strumming or fingerpicking), maybe not metal / power chord songs. Doesn't have the darker tone of other classical guitars I've tried (I consider a good thing). Pretty much what it looks like - your standard accoustic guitar, just smaller. You'll have to get used to telling people it is actually a real guitar not a ukulele.

  • Works fine for my purpose

    I've been camping and doing a lot of road trips. I need a small guitar to bring along in my small RV. Of course I can't compare its sound quality to my other full-size guitars but this Cordoba Mini is great for this purpose. I love it.

    WITH A FULL SIZE NECK IT MAKES IT EASY FOR A BEGINNER TO LEARN AND TRANSITION ON TO A LARGER GUITAR. SOUND IS DECENT ENOUGH TO KEEP A CHILD INTERESTED. PERFECT SIZE TO TRAVEL WITH AND NOT WORRY ABOUT.

  • OK when improved with high tension strings

    Wake up Cordoba. It should ship with high tension strings. SOunds and plays incredibly better.

  • Wonderful guitar for a young beginner!

    My kid's fingertips are soft and sensitive. She refused to practice guitar lessons on other 3/4 guitars because steel strings are too sharp, plus 3/4 guitars are too big and heavy for her. Finally, I found this Cordoba Mini at the local Guitar Center. This Mini guitar is light, easy to carry, and has nylon strings, but it sounds just as wonderful as a full-size guitar. So, I traded in one 3/4 size guitar and added some money to get this Cordoba Mini. Everyone is now happy. The kid can learn. The teacher can teach. I feel good of the right decision to get this Cordoba guitar for my kid.

  • This is a truly fine playing instrument

    I am left handed. They did say it could not be turned to a left handed (?) Does that mean I can not invert the tuning so I could play it (left Handed) just like a regular right handed? Thanks much.

    You would have to flip the strings around and possibly change the nut to get them to fit.

    When I purchase this guitar, will I have to tune it myself or does it come pre-tuned?

    Open Reply -
    This comes with the manufactures set up. However, I would still recommend that you tune it and make sure it meets your specifications.

    Would warping be an issue since this one does not have a truss rod?? Thanks

    Warping is still possible, but as long as you keep it away from weather extremes you should be alright.
