This guitar Cordoba C7-CE CD/IN Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Classical Guitar-NAT & Bagis so awe-inspiring that I have decided to form a CSNY tribute band. Since my ex-wife says that I look like Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider, I am going to be David Crosby. The Nash role has also been filled but the Neil Young character has been very competitive to date. Three acquaintances want to be him but the eventual winner will also have to buy a D-45 and some additional plaid flannel shirts. The only area where it gets a little peculiar is that we have an African-American fellow playingStephen Stills because he can sing that style pretty good. The drawback is that he cannot play guitar and will also need to invest
in a D-45. So far, he is unwilling to do so and prefers to play his saxophone at which he is really good. The D-45 really lends itself to this kind of presentation because the first thing you are reminded of when you see one is CSNY and they are the greatest folk-rock band of all time. We haven't come up with a name yet.This is a great D 45Cordoba C7-CE CD/IN Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Classical Guitar-NAT & Bag. It is clear in the upper registers, mellow in the middle, and the base is, not surprisingly, authoritative. All in all it's a perfectly balanced instrument with that extra life and precise clarity that Martins Classical Guitarseem to have at their best. I haven't modified it so it's a little harder to play than others I have tried, but it's easier to get more out of it when you need to punch and you can modulate the volume more successfully.Good overall tone, similar to a well-selected D-28 (which it essentially is except for the abalone and gold trim). Wish mine were made of the older Brazilian but the East Indian passes (especially to those who cannot tell the difference). I added a FWI saddle which seemed to give the guitar a bit more punch. I also changed the bridge pins to FWI a month or two later and noticed minimal improvement. It seemed clearer but that might just be my imagination as the strings were new and of an entirely different brand that came on the guitar. The only problem with this guitar's appearance is that people sometimes expect you to play better than you actually are. I am a low intermediate level player so reluctantly playing stuff by Stills and Young (when asked to) is elementary & poses few problems..
On the other hand, when I attempt a note by note acoustic rendition of something by Bromberg, Satriani, Hendrix or Rheinhardt, I often falter and sometimes wish I had a plainer looking guitar Guitar Chords Shoplike a D-18. This guitar is good for an onstage performer but a bit much for a hobbyist such as myself. It was an anniversary present and I had no input in regards to its selection. A nice D-28 Cordoba C7-CE CD/IN Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Classical Guitar-NAT & Bagwould have sufficed. Unfortunately,
my wife is a big Neil Young fan and she bought this D-45 on impulse. I'm not complaining but if I have to play Heart of Gold or Cowgirl in the Sand one more time just to pacify her, I think I will be ill. My interest in music and guitar goes beyond that pedestrain style of seventies era soft rock.
