It's easy to play, comfortable, but not loud, it's small enough to be a carry on or personal item on a plane, the body is somewhat thin, but it has a truss rod built in it, which that's rare for the size and type of guitar this is.. it's not bad, if you like traveling I highly recommend this guitar. It also fits. In 30-31 inch baritone ukelele cases..

My son wanted a classical guitar along with his others. This guitar has amazing sound for the price point. We swapped out the strings since they were “too loose”. Factory strings are almost always worth replacing. Overall good size for a teenager with smaller hands than adults.

It's perfect, the tonal quality is great, the fretboard is just the right size for being a classical guitar. This guitar will be a great investment as it is pretty easy to play, and it can last for more than 5 years, enough for you to learn and master classical pieces and techniques like tremelo, picado etc.

I bought this Cordoba Protege C1M guitar for my daughter by her teacher's recommendation. It is laminated but it's very pretty and it has a very nice sound, very warm and sweet. The action is also very comfortable, so the strings don't hurt her fingers even though it hasn't been set up yet. She is very petite, at just 5 feet tall, and it fits her just right even though it is a full size (teacher helped with proper posture). We tried many other brands, including other top brands, and this was the most comfortable for her fingers and size, plus it had the best sound for price range. Comfortable and a good sound means her motivation won't suffer because of equipment. The one which is worth twice as much doesn't feel or sound twice as good, only about 1/4 better. Teacher says that later, when she has to do recitals in a year or two, then we might want a solid wood one with a bigger sound from a way bigger budget ($$$$). I recommend you have yours checked for defects upon arrival. Ours was in good shape with no real defects. It does have a buzz on the 12th fret but she won't be there soon. It came with a tool to adjust the action to make it lower or higher. We are very happy with our purchase. Good price and delivered in two and a half days.

I was sent a defective guitar. The frets were enlarge and protuding out on both sides of the neck. The guitar itself was ok, though for the price and at 1/4 size, it should be at least that. I asked for a replacement because I wanted to keep the guitar for my son, feeling that it was adequate for his needs. However, they offered a replacement 6 weeks down the line and asked for the return of the original within thirty days. This is not a company that has fulfilled their obligation. We have a defective guitar and I am wasting time writing this, as well as pursuing the replacement. I realize I could simply return the original (and even that's a hassle), but with a limited market of 1/4 size classical guitars I'd prefer a replacement.
