Hi, Just a comment on the Cordoba since the second hand guitar shop next to where I live has a Cordoba GK Pro Negra since few weeks, so I decided to go and give it a try. It took me few days before I could go, so in between, i did few research on the web and the main thing I realized (after a while) is that you never really find anybody making a demo of this guitar playing flamenco. But the features and all the advertisement kept me interested. Once I saw it in the shop, I was a bit disappointed I must say. Visually, it is ok but far from the level of quality I could expect for the price and for a supposedly "pro" model. Then playing it, I was even more disapointed. Really flat, no energy, no crisps. I dont know how to express it but it was far from what I expected. Although I think the strings were not the best (very floppy) and didnt help much. My own guitar at a third of a price has much nicer quality and finish on one hand, and much better feel and sounds when playing it. At the end, I was ok because I didnt had to think much more about buying it. Very clear. So my advice would be to try the guitar you are interested in as soon as possible. Sometimes it gets very clear. And for this level of price, I think you can get something much better, depending where you live and want brands or makers are available around you. Cheers
