You aren't likely to find similar issues with the Cordoba C7.
And in looking for guitars for beginners and intermediate players, you're likely to find many that have significant issues with playability. But if your guitar isn't playable, you'll likely become very frustrated. On any classical guitar, the tone is highly important. As you can likely tell from the demo, the C7 is also a good guitar for flamenco music. To hear it for yourself, check out this helpful video demo. Mahogany is also a fairly dense wood that isn't prone to warping and other issues.Put all together, these woods create the tone of the Cordoba C7-CD - dark and warm yet defined. That's because the neck transfers the energy from the strings to the guitar body. When used as a neck material, mahogany helps shape the tone to make it darker and warmer. Just like many other Cordoba guitars, the C7 has a solid mahogany neck. Indian rosewood also has a chocolatey, distinctive grain that is especially beautiful. Nonetheless, laminated Indian rosewood does have some of the characteristics of solid wood - a tight low end, defined highs, and plenty of overtones. It's remarkable to find an entry-level guitar with a solid top for a low price, and it would be unreasonable to expect the Indian rosewood back and sides on the C7 to be solid. It's a little more midrange-heavy than spruce. This is an ideal combination - it makes sure each note you play is defined, but it also ensures a warm tone. It has a powerful attack followed by plenty of resonance. This tonewood is ideal for players with a very light touch. For the price, the Cordoba C7 has an excellent build quality.
