Cordoba Mini II EB-CE, Spruce Ebony, Small Body, Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Guitar

When considering this guitar, its important to take two things into account. 1) this is a half size guitar, and 2) it is built to a specific price point. Those things considered, it is a very good value and good sounding LITTLE guitar. Its small and very light, so it's easy to take places. It's about half way between the size of a baritone uke and a full sized classical guitar. Since it is a short scale guitar and tuned to standard tuning, the strings carry less tension, and its just not as powerful (unplugged) as a full size guitar. You may also notice that the lower tension makes the strings feel softer, and may or may not like that. For a short scale guitar with a small body, I think the guitar sounds great and has good harmonics and a sensitive feel to it. I especially like it for finger style and classical. However, it is built to a price point, and the finish on mine had some flaws. Action is good, about 3.5 mm at 12th fret with plenty of saddle available to lower it if you wanted. Intonation is spot on. I would say they focused more on getting the sound and playability right, and compromised a little on the finish in order to be able to offer it at a lower price.

I bought this guitar for myself, and also to entice my 8 year old daughter to play acoustic (she previously only wanted to play her electric). I was lucky and saw one "Used - Like New" and nabbed it for about 30% off. When it arrived, it was clear it had been stored in a dry warehouse, as the wood was very dry, and the frets were sprouting out both ends. I left it in a fairly humid part of my home for a week and took a fret file to the sharp edges. Add a little bit of lemon oil on the fretboard, and some felt tape to stop the battery from buzzing along to certain notes, and this has become the house favorite. It cost a small fraction of as much as my other two (full size) guitars and yet for the past 3 months it has been by far the one I play most. It looks a bit silly in the hands of a grown man, but I couldn't care less. I play it plugged into my Spark Amp (with only compression and a tiny bit of reverb, no amp sim) and it sounds excellent. I've played it a ton along with my friend on the double bass and the two sounds go so nicely together. My daughter and I have lovingly named her Claire, and now frequently fight over who gets to play her. As a final note, I'm recovering from some health issues and need to spend a lot of time in bed - and it's small size has made it playable lying on my back to an extent that is not possible with larger guitars. I highly recommend this beauty - but maybe get a new one if you don't feel like giving it some TLC like I did.

サイズもデザインも良いし何より弾きやすい❗生音の響きはエレガットだしミニなのでそれなりだけど大満足です。

作りは良いですが、小さいだけに音はウクレレっぽいです。単身赴任先の会社の寮で運指の練習のために購入したので、まぁ良いかなという感じです。 高くてもヤマハのサイレントギターにすれば良かったと後悔しています。

This arrived in perfect condition, and I literally pulled it out of the box and started to play. The action is perfect (at least for me) and the ease of playing is amazing. The nut bridge width is smaller than a regular classical guitar and yet there is plenty of room to play - does not seem crowded. I experience no buzzing or issues with the frets. - all aligned and perfect. I normally play my full size classical but find myself grabbing this my new "couch" guitar and practicing and playing nonstop. It stays in my hands all day long. The tuner is surprisingly accurate (I compared with my other tuner). I can't say enough great things about this guitar. Plugged in it sounds sweet too - feel free to put it through some effects or pedals to get the sound you want. Incredible versatile little guitar. Super happy. I don't write a lot of reviews but have to give a shout out to this amazing little guitar at such an amazing price!
