Anybody out there have any thoughts or experience with Cordoba's?

You can find some great sounding Cordobas but my experience has been that their quality control isn't as tight as Yamaha (even though Yamaha now owns them).

When it comes to Cordobas, I always want to be able to play and inspect them first.

Go practice. Focus, play beautifully, and solve problems. Your time is precious and limited.

They have inspection day the day before the auction. Since most of the instruments are new or as new, I'll take my chances if the price is right. It's a pretty big auction, they sold most of the guitars in the first auction. This go round is mostly fretless instruments.

Here's the link, lots of uke's too.

I would examine the Cordoba C10. That probably has the best potential.

There seem to be at least three C9s. Amazon was blowing them out for $675 back in December of 2022 (down from $979).

The F7 Paco is just a solid (cedar) top but flamenco guitars with cedar tops are uncommon in the mid and low price ranges. It would be interesting to see how it sounds versus the more common spruce tops which are bright-sounding.

This is the narrower-neck 14-fretter which is basically a crossover nylon electric. It might be interesting to those who are more accustomed to steel.

It's a fun auction format. Each lot enters the ring at the current bid, a 20 second timer is set, and restarts each time a bid is placed.

The C9's look nice, and the Stage series look like a nylon LP, that would be a fund guitar to play with. It's a big auction, you always hope the instruments on your list somehow fall through the cracks.

Well, the higher end C9's and stage models went for around half of retail. I thought they were all well bought. I picked up a Cordoba mini mahogany for $55 thinking it would be a grand baby starter guitar.
I also snagged a Cordoba fusion 5 in a beautiful burst for $120. Adding the %18 buyer premium and adding %8.25 tax on top of that, I still made out pretty well. I'll be picking them up after work.
