Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
The Cordoba Cadet cedar top guitar is well made, nice looking and most importantly, great sounding. I tried out several others in this price range, but this little Cordoba blew them all away. The cedar top really resonates and gives a nice warm, full sound for a small guitar. I also like that the neck width is not as wide as the full size classical, but wide enough for finger style guitar playing.
The tuners held tune well, but I replaced them with a set of Gotoh Classical Tuners from Stew Mac for a more subdued look. I also replaced the stock strings with a set of D'Addario Pro Arte classical strings, which greatly improved the tone and intonation. I recommend replacing the stock strings as soon as possible as they are pretty poor quality. I also lowered the action some on mine, filing the nut slots some and lowering the saddle as the setup "out of the box" was a little high for my liking. But that's personal preference, others might like a higher action on a classical guitar.
All in all, I'm very happy with this guitar and would definitely recommend it to anyone, not just the beginner player.

Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
The made-in-China Cordoba Cadet is well-finished and, thanks to its solid top, produces reasonably-rich tone for a 3/4-sized instrument. That's the good news. The bad news is that my particular guitar exhibits irregular frequency response (spikes and dips in sonic output at different points along the fretboard). It's not annoying enough for me to discard the instrument, but it explains my Three Star rating.
Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
The Cordoba Cadet is not a toy and I bought it for me. I play a lot and just need to get away from the big guitars at times. I looked at everything else I could find on the market. I found feature and quality shortages in all of them exept the Cadet. I think the Cadet is as good as it gets.
The Cordoba Cadet is a reduced size, typical classical guitar. It has a cedar top, fan bracing, laminate mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany neck with a truss rod (key supplied). The rosette is inlaid wood. The fingerboard, bridge, headstock overlay, heel cap, and binding are rosewood. The Cadet has a backstrip and end piece. The nut and saddle are bone. The finish is gloss polyurethane. The tuners are gold color with pearl plastic buttons. The nut is narrow and the neck is thin. The scale is about 1 1/2 inches shorter than a normal classical guitar. This guitar is very light. It is supplied with a nice gig bag.
The finish is well done. The tuners work well and are nice looking. The rosette was inlaid very well. There are no fret issues at all and the setup was excellent. Construction is first rate with no sloppy joints inside and no glue globs. The gig bag is well made, nicely padded, and hinged to allow the guitar to be removed easliy. Intonation is fine and the sound is big and bold for a short scale and small body.
In my opinion, the Cadet is the highest value, reduced size guitar on the market. The features, quality, and sound are absolutely the best of the several I have tried. You can pay less and you will get less.
Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
There is little more that I can say other than that I was completely blown away by this guitar. I bought it to have a second nylon string "travel guitar". It sounds very close to a full sized classical, the fret board is pretty much flawless and smooth, and I cannot locate any flaws in the finish at all. I can't distinguish the neck from the neck of a full sized classical. It plays great and the sound is close to that of a full sized classical guitar as well.I can't recommend this guitar enough. Not merely for a beginner. I have tried several other 3/4 sized nylon string guitars in the past, and this guitar is probably the best in class.
Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
I just purchased the Cordoba Cadet 3/4 Classical Guitar for my daughters birthday and all I have to say is WOW! It looks great! I was considering purchasing the Yamaha student classical, but after seeing this beauty, I knew this was the one for my daughter. The fit, finish, action, and sound are impeccable, not to mention the gig bag that comes with this guitar is outstanding - heavy weight nylon. I must say for the money I paid and the features this guitar has, spend the little extra and purchase this guitar for your child.After years of experience playing classical and fingerstyle, I really wish I had this guitar to start out on when I was young.
Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
I bought this guitar for my son who is beginning classical guitar lessons. The instrument has a wonderful sound, easy to tune, is a good size for young musicians, and looks beautiful. When he is not practicing, I get to play it, too! I highly recommend this guitar if you are looking for a classical guitar for a beginner.
Comments about Cordoba Cadete 3/4 Size Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar:
Sound is great. I love this guitar, even though I've never played it. The only draw back is that it smells like a mix between chewing gum and shoe pollish. Oh well. Maybe your's will come with a fresh pine smell.
