Good value beginner guitar
I think the C7 is a much better choice than the common cheap beginner guitars, like the Yamaha C40. Yes, its more expensive, but at least you won't waste time with the C40 which is at best good for making a fire.
Overall the C7 is well built, good sound. In terms of features I think this might be the best guitar in the price range.
I would also recommend this as a beater, if you have another, more expensive guitar that you don't want to drag around.
The only issue is playability. The action is way too high, I suspect Cordoba does this in order to get a better volume out-of-the-box. However, its so high its almost unplayable. You can loosen the strings and easily slide of saddle off, then sand the bottom of it to get a lower action, so its an easy fix.
Overall, a good guitar that needs a bit of setting up.

A worthy addition to anyone’s collection
I bought this guitar eight years ago.When I got it I had read that some of these have had the bridges come unglued.Well mine is still solid.Sounds lovely.Feels very nice too.Nice thick fret board and the neck has a lovely rounded carve(some of my other classical guitars have wide chunky necks).This one feels pretty slinky for a classical guitar.
The wood binding is very well finished too.The tuners are also a nice quality and silent(I always lubricant these with vasoline every few years)
You can see the pattern of the fan bracing through the sound board(don’t worry though.It’s a sign of a nice thin sound board).
I look after my guitars and the finish is still looking as good as new.No defects what so ever.
The only thing I changed to improve it was fitted d’addario coated strings which sound wonderful on this instrument.
In the future I may upgrade to the Cordoba C10 with all solid wood but for the price I have no regrets about purchasing this guitar.
Thanks Thomann
