The Cordoba F7 is okay as a second guitar for knocking around. I have found the treble to be good, but the bass to be weak. It does have a good general flamenco look, feel, and sound. The overall finish has been improved, and looks fine to me. I recently had a second chance to play the new Yamaha 172SF, which replaced the 171SF. Both are good, and I like the 172 a little better. Genuine flamenco sound. But the 172, like the 171 before it, is exactly the opposite of the Cordoba F7 – it has a great bass (for its category), but weak treble. So all things being equal, it might depend on your preferences. In general, you would probably be better off with the Yamaha, and it costs around $200 less. I do have one suggestion just to consider, which I have had a couple of my students do. For less than the cost of the Yamaha, you can get a Cordoba C5, which is a classical guitar, and put on static cling golpeadores (Oasis Armor – Strings by Mail) for six dollars, and use it as a negra. You don't even have to lower the action, though you can easily do that as well. I feel that the Cordoba C5 is the best guitar on the market in its price range – about $300, or slightly less. It looks good, handles easily, has great bass and very good treble, and is just overall enjoyable to play - again, all this is considering its category, as a second all around guitar. You can usually find one to test out in a Guitar Center or Sam Ash. Ramon
