without playing the guitars one has to go on materials and reputation. the navarro hands down. the cordoba is made with laminated sycamore whereas the navarro is made from real cypress (monetary or spanish). the navarro has, from the posts i have read, a very good reputation whereas the cordoba has a so-so reputation.

Where can I get some of that monetary cypress?

Cordoba versus Navarro? That's easy, Navarro.

charles, you can buy monetary cypress at the same store that sells royal spanish cypress. the store is located across the street from the store that sells monterey cypress.

The monetary cypress is probably really expensive. Ha!

Navarro would be my choice, but Grisha made that Cordoba sound great.

My choice would be a Navarro as well just because it is made with better quality. Check out Ramzi a.k.a. Rombsix play the Cordoba he plays AWESOME on the Cordoba!

Hello,

In this price range, also I would take a look to the Esteve 6F for example.

Also Paco Castillo model 215F.

Relation quality-price of these guitars is very good.
