Year 2021 Instrument type Classical Builder / Manufacturer Cordoba Instrument Model Prot?g? 7/8 Top wood Spruce Side wood Mahogany Back wood Mahogany Player Joscelyne Kravitz StringsComment
The Cantiga basses on this set really make this guitar sing, and the carbon G string is a perfect balancer to brighten the melancholy tones of the mahogany. This set has also maintained its sound quality longer than other sets I've tried. Lastly, though the tension is medium, I would say it's more of a medium-high tension, which again complements the mahogany and feels really great to play. -

First, I like that D?Addario does so many good things for music. Then, I like the silky sound of the trebles and the basses feel just right for me. And I find the lower normal tension strings allow the guitar to have great balance. -
