This is a write up on Harmony Central... Sound Quality Okay, so it\'s not a SelMac, but it about $20,000 +-, less expensive. I have a Grand Bouche (D-hole) made by Pierre Anastasio of Paris, which is an excellent gypsy guitar. Using the Anastasio for a basis of comparison, I find that the Cordoba has a more than decent sound. The highs are bright and the low end gets a good sound if you use a HEAVY pick...I use a 3mm. The sound is snappy and alive. I play a lot of gypsy jazz, early swing, blues and jazz. For a guitar that I\'m mic-ing on stage, why do I need another $3,000+ guitar? To feed my ego? I think not. Reliability/Durability The guitar is much more sturdy than a real SelMac and should stand up to a lot of hard playing which often the originals didn\'t. The finish is most likely a UV activated urethane (??), and should hold up well. I would like a thinner finish. Price/Value General Comments I\'m giving this guitar a 9.5 rating, understanding that this is not a custom made guitar or a SelMac, but for a performer, it\'s a very decent tool.
