5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice 3/4 Classical Guitar, February 24, 2011

This review is from: Cordoba Cadete 3/4 size Classical Guitar (Electronics)

I have had both expensive and inexpensive classical guitars and for some reason I am drawn to the 3/4 size. They are easy to handle, lightweight, and normally are very good sounding. The Cadet is really a nice classical for the money. I do realize that you can get a good one and you can get a bad one. This is normally true with any instrument. The guitar I received was perfect in every way. Great finish, frets perfect, good intonation, all inside bracing and glue were top notch, and most important it played like a dream. Sustain was better than expected. The only thing that you should consider is that the nut width is 1 7/8 inches wide and while this is slightly less than a full size 2 inch nut it is still a stretch for fingering. The fretboard is flat requiring you to stretch more than a radius fretboard or a standard acoustic guitar. I like everything about the Cadet and I really like the price on it. If you are new to classical guitars try out a 3/4 size before you put down your money for a full size. You might just fall in love with it.

This review is from: Cordoba Cadete 3/4 size Classical Guitar (Electronics)

This guitar arrived today from Amazon and I was delighted with it. I'm a 72 year old great grandmother who is just now learning to play a guitar. Other standard size guitars have proven too large and cumbersome for my small hands, but this Cordoba Cadete 3/4 size Classical Guitar is PERFECT for me and fits me beautifully. The sound quality is excellent as is the workmanship and I'm having a blast learning the various chords. I originally planned to learn to play on this guitar and graduate to a larger one, but I may simply stick with this guitar. It is a perfect fit and I'm having too much fun memorizing the chords and training my hands to play. I hope to be fairly skilled in a short time and with this guitar that won't be an issue. This is an excellent small instrument and I highly recommend it.

This guitar was on the short list for my 8 year old son to learn on. I was having trouble deciding between this guitar and a well reviewed and much cheaper Yamaha. I called around to some of the local shops and found a Cadete for only $200 (ABC Music, Salem OR). Of course I knew that was too good a deal to pass on. It has a SOLID cedar top, and a truss rod for adjustment if that is ever necessary. In short this is built like a quality full scale guitar, only a bit smaller. As another reviewer said the neck is still wider than a steel string guitar if that is a concern to you.

Brought this baby home and my son loves it. When he isn't playing it, I am. It sounds great and thanks to the solid top will only get sweeter with time. The guitar holds tune very well and intonnation is perfect too. My nice electric gutiar is sad with neglect, but my son and I are very happy.
