Cordoba GK Studio Negra

This is an amazing and beautiful sounding instrument. I’ve Had it for two weeks now and everything has been perfect. Sounds great plugged in and unplugged as well. The built in tuner is convenient. Everything is straight and no buzzing of strings.

Third times a charm. Ordered new twice from Guitar Center. Both had build and quality issues, enough so to return. This one has none of those issues. Gorgeous design, fit and finish. Rich, ethereal, powerful and dimensional sound. The action toward the saddle needs to be lowered a bit. Worth the setup effort.

OK, I have literally been playing bfor an hour since this beautiful instrument showed up on my doorstep. It is absolutely, 100% beautiful right out of the box! It is usually my experience that a mid-range instrument usually needs a thorough going over by a luthier before you can actually get a decent sound and good playability out of it. But, not this guitar. It is terrific right from the unboxing. I actually can't wait to get it setup properly. I can already tell it will play like a dream. This instrument is definitely punching above its weight!

I’ve read some other reviews and any negative reviews I’ve attributed to difference in style. With that being said, I focus on rumba/flamenco based technique but also very heavy bluesy and jazzy stuff with a lot rhythmic plucking and slaps…this guitar is superb. It sound amazing, very comfortable for playing. I have another cordoba (the darker brown one) which is purely classical…and I’ve been playing them both back to back. Definitely will be using both for different purposes but this Cordoba GK is already a favorite 🤙🏾

I love this amazing flamenco guitar, the natural sound the electric system by Fishman. Bravo Cordoba! Came in a very well protected packet safe!!! Very very satisfied by this choice...

Overall construction and fit is good for the price point. The finish has some overspray flaws, particularly along the "body to neck" heel joint on both sides. The tuners are suprizingly tight, and the Salveraz strings have clear rich bass tones. Bridge saddle appears to be too tall and may need removal/ replacement after a height reduction to alleviate barely playable 12th fret action(~4mm+ on bass side) The neck has a slight "raked upwards" relief warp between nut and 5th fret contributing to the high action at the 12th fret problem with barely any relief at the lower end of the neck. A series of Truss Rod adjustments may reduce warp relief to lower spec limits? I haven't seen this issue in retail outlets where I've played several GKs before buying this one online. The Tuner and Electronics are functional, and there is also a "mic blend" function, was surprized that this Fishman system has an internal mic and an under saddle transducer? However, the tone with high hand noises, is moderate at best, playing thru a Marshall 50 WATT acoustic amplifier. I've been unsuccessful thus far, in attaining a pleasing EQ tonal balance. ( Recognizing the price point of this instrument) The Fret ends aren't sharp, but could be a little smoother. If neck is unable to be straightened to reduce relief over the next few days with small incremental truss rod adjustments, I may have to return this guitar. I plan to update this review in a week or so. I do recognize some Classical players like higher action vs. Flamingo players. While mostly an Acoustic and Electric player for ~ 50 years, I have owned more expensive Classical guitars in the past and did not like the wider nut width for playing slash cords with thumb over chords. This thinner / narrower nut width(50mm) is better suited for my preferences.

Buyer please be aware , this product has lost all their good quality. Guitar arrived damaged and had a rattle sounds from the inside. Amazon gave a discount but the noise gotten worse and they refuse to process a refund or discount more. Also this product is not Spanish , IT IS MADE IN CHINA.

Beautiful tone. Deep bass tone. Drop tunes all the way to C perfectly without buzzing. Setup just about perfect out of the box. Great pickup which accurately recreates tone. Truss rod so the neck doesn't warp over time. Light. Only drawback is no neck heel strap button, making the guitar less practical. To install one would be fairly difficult due to the heel's narrow width. Overall, worth every penny. No wonder Cordoba recommends MSRP $2,360.00.
