I bought this guitar a month ago, and one of the strings has already broken. I am very disappointed.

Neck is wider than I expected. If you have large hands this would be great, alas, I do not. Will now be a decoration on the wall.

I am extremely happy to have ordered C1M in December when I did. The instrument was on sale for $128.00 (full size) however, I bought it on Amazon's warehouse for $113.00 as used. Someone was foolish enough to have returned it AND...it was the only one for that price! When I received it, it was in perfect immaculate condition. I am a short person 5'3" but I bought a full size guitar and it fits comfortably, love the way it sounds and the overall quality is magnificent. I am a seasoned player but I bought a beginners guitar because I want to continue to practice without ruining my other expensive guitar. I bought additional accessories such as a sound hole cover, pickguard, and an armrest. It feels as if I bought another expensive guitar and I completely just love it. Whoever returned this instrument did me a huge favor. Folks! my recommendation is to look for Amazon's warehouse when embarking on a purchase. Best deal ever!

It's perfect, the tonal quality is great, the fretboard is just the right size for being a classical guitar. This guitar will be a great investment as it is pretty easy to play, and it can last for more than 5 years, enough for you to learn and master classical pieces and techniques like tremelo, picado etc.

November 2020 I decided to try to learn guitar during quarantine. My friend, and guitar teacher, helped me know what to look for. I decided on this Cordoba. The packaging was excellent. It arrived safe and sound. It’s beautiful, fits well in my hands- though of course it took some time getting used to since I am new. It’s now July 2021 and I’m very comfortable with it. There have been no issues. I am happy with my choice.

I bought this Cordoba Protege C1M guitar for my daughter by her teacher's recommendation. It is laminated but it's very pretty and it has a very nice sound, very warm and sweet. The action is also very comfortable, so the strings don't hurt her fingers even though it hasn't been set up yet. She is very petite, at just 5 feet tall, and it fits her just right even though it is a full size (teacher helped with proper posture). We tried many other brands, including other top brands, and this was the most comfortable for her fingers and size, plus it had the best sound for price range. Comfortable and a good sound means her motivation won't suffer because of equipment. The one which is worth twice as much doesn't feel or sound twice as good, only about 1/4 better. Teacher says that later, when she has to do recitals in a year or two, then we might want a solid wood one with a bigger sound from a way bigger budget ($$$$). I recommend you have yours checked for defects upon arrival. Ours was in good shape with no real defects. It does have a buzz on the 12th fret but she won't be there soon. It came with a tool to adjust the action to make it lower or higher. We are very happy with our purchase. Good price and delivered in two and a half days.

This guitar sounds great, it looks amazing aswell. My only issue is something is messed up with the tuning, and I cant for the life of me figure out what it is. I've spent hours online trying to troubleshoot this issue, I tried tuning up and tuning down, I made sure the bridge was seated right, I looked for any loose tuning pegs, strings were all seated well, and for some reason it will still go horribly out of tune within 3 hours of not playing.This may not be an issue for you if you tune anyime before you play anyway, sometimes i'll do the same, but this guitar becomes horribly untuned within hours, and I dont know why. Does sound good though, rather unfortunate.
