Gigging musicians often require a certain level of quality and reliability from their guitars, and in the Cordoba C7-CE there exists an affordable, high-quality guitar that would fit the bill nicely. So I can help you find a great guitar, an online course, lots of sheet music, some instructional books, and an accessory or three.So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best beginner classical guitars on the market right now. If you want to know more about Yamaha’s worthy competitor and a popular brand in its own right Cordoba, read my article Yamaha vs Cordoba for a comparison of various models from both.

For younger players, or those with smaller hands, even a standard classical acoustic might be a daunting proposition. The top is Sitka spruce, but the back and sides are mahogany, which is not a wood usually associated with classic nylon-string guitars. For most people, it usually takes up to an hour to assemble the piano and requires two able-bodied persons. This model has a rich and sweet tone, thanks to its top-quality material: Honduras cedar neck, Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard and solid spruce top. Yamaha is traditionally built, warmer in tone, close to the Spanish tradition and highly consistent in quality, batch after batch.Still, if you’re really sold on adding some rich, warm nylon acoustic tones to your compositions there is a solution.

Its mosaic-design rosette, gloss finish, gold hardware and mother-of-pearl peg tuners lend it a quiet and classy exterior. With the exception of the tonewood and hardware, almost everything about the C40 is carried over to the C40II. You might see woods like cypress being used on flamenco guitars, as this can be quite bright and percussive sounding, making it ideal for the style of music. But knowing that each player’s preferences are different they made sure that each player can tailor how the guitar is set up to their liking. In case that’s not possible such as when purchasing it from an online retailer, you need to inspect it on arrival carefully.

Depending on your skill level, you will want to concentrate on the section that matters most to you.
