Review: I like this guitar - Like a lot of guitar players I own too many guitars. I didn't own a classical guitar however, but I wanted one. I started doing research and didn't want to spend a lot somehow I ended up on this one -- and a used one was listed for a really good deal and I bought it. My original plan had been to buy it on a different site, but ti was a deal and I'm glad I decided to buy. My only complaint with this guitar is the frets need some file work (something that the other site I had thought of buying it one would never have shipped). Anyway a little work and this is just a good sounding fun guitar to play. I dig it. Good sound. Great looking. The onboard tuner/electronics are handy. It is very cool for the money.
Review: Great Guitar, Great Price. - This is a beautiful guitar, and desertcart's price is the best deal you will find ANYWHERE. I was a bit concerned about the sound, as this is a thin body guitar, but this thing booms! Great fretwork, nearly perfect finish, the truss rod needed to be straightened, simple. Intonation is as near perfect as you could want. 2 months later this has become one of my favorite guitars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this guitar have a high action from the 10th fret onwards? Would the action be that of a classical guitar or a steel string acoustic?**
A: This is a traditional classical guitar, so the action will be consistent with a classical guitar. The only difference with this model is the cutaway. That being said, our shop can adjust the action of the instrument before shipping. If you prefer lower action, let us know. There are limits to how low it can be, however.

**Q: How does the c5 spruce compare to the c7 sp??**
A: Both are solid Spruce top, the C5 has laminate mahogany back/sides, C7 has laminate Indian Rosewood back/sides.

**Q: Where is this guitar made? is it in china?**
A: Yes, it is made in China.

**Q: is this the full 52mm nut width?**
A: No, the nut width is a little smaller = 50mm (2 inches).
Please let us know if we can help you.
Sincerely,
Calido Guitars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this guitar
*by R***N on May 8, 2023*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Guitar, Great Price.
*by T***I on July 1, 2022*

This is a beautiful guitar, and Amazon's price is the best deal you will find ANYWHERE. I was a bit concerned about the sound, as this is a thin body guitar, but this thing booms! Great fretwork, nearly perfect finish, the truss rod needed to be straightened, simple. Intonation is as near perfect as you could want. 2 months later this has become one of my favorite guitars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Guitar and Beautiful
*by W***G on June 8, 2022*

I received this guitar in perfect condition. The finish is flawless and the maple is beautiful. This thin body is a real comfort to play. Sound is very good, clear with lots of sustain. Setup was not great or I would have given it 5 stars. The action was too high. I tightened the truss rod a bit to make sure the neck was flat. I then loosened the strings and removed the bridge. I sanded it down about 4 mm to get the action at the 12th fret to 4 mm. Unfortunately, the high E string snapped when I retuned it. You can imagine my frustration having to run out to buy another string. That said, I don't think much of the Saverez strings. This guitar is sounding even better as it is being broken in. It's also very nice to have a tuner built in. The electronics are good quality and sound great. This is a very nice guitar. Update: 8/8/24. I replaced the bridge saddle which is plastic with a bone saddle purchased on Amazon. The sound is even better now. Plugged in, the high E and B string have better volume and sustain. The balance of sound is greatly improved.
