Unplugged the sound of this guitar is beautiful. It is almost as loud as my Martin OOO28.I'm almost exclusively a fingerpicker but I tried the La Playa with a pick and while it is not as loud as a full size dread, it is adequate for any type of solo playing. Some or most, short scale guitars sound very ricky ticky and are best suited to styles of music that are compatible with a crude sound. The La Playa can match any steel string in beauty of tone. I play mine in open tunings for celtic music and it sounds great. Plugged in, the sound is the same as unplugged only louder.I pull the treble sider all the way daown to get rid of quackyness. The resulting sound is warm and natural. with the treble on, the tone is suitable for slide playing. At 23.25" the scale isn't overly short. It's like a regular guitaar with a capo on the second fret. The guitar's body is closer to a parlor guitar than to most travel guitars.They say it fits in an airplane overhead compartment, but I bet it's close. A big part of the La Playa's charm is the fact that it looks more like a classical guitar than a steel string.It's like a stealth steel string. But inside it's all steel string with scalloped x bracing and a hardwood bridge plate. I wouldn't change anything on this guitar. If you are looking for a good short scale or travel guitar, I definitely recomend this one.

.This guitar is labeled as a 1/2 size guitar but is about the size of a strunal 3/4 sixe guitar.I got this guitar for christmas and found a guitar that looked fine.After I looked clocer I noticed Two large cracks beside the soundhole. The guitar was badly packaged and the amp was placed right above the soundhole.We sent it back and they gladly sent us a new one.It wasn't packed differently but the guitar was unharmed. The guitar is high quality for its price.The rosette is small but, it is not a sticker.The rosette pattern is also located on the bridge.You will also be impressed with its clear sound although it is a very quiet (nothing an amp wont fix).Don't permanently use the amp that comes with the guitar and it is not of high quality so you should get another amp. The amp I use with the guitar is a Trubador. These amps are great for Cordoba guitars.Clearly there are some problems with the amps and packaging but the guitar is great quality.

.I was looking for a little travel guitar and am very happy with this purchase. While it is described as a 1/2, it is about the same size as a GS mini (7/8) and much larger than the Baby taylor (3/4). The solid wood top give it a very nice tone and it holds tuning beautifully. I am very impressed that Cordoba was able to make such a pretty and nice sounding insturment, with electronics, for such a reasonable price!

.This is easy to play, super fun to learn on, and boasts a really impressive tone. I heard about this guitar in connection to one of my fave artists, Donovan Frankenreiter, so I gave it a try. Nice to get a guitar that doesn't cost all that much (Gibson/Martin price) but still sounds like any solid top should. The carrying bag is pretty handy too and unique. I get plenty of compliments on my new guitar even with its matte finish. Would highly it to people of all musical stages and backgrounds alike!!!!!*

.This guitar truly kicks butt. This guitar is easy to play even for me a beginner. It has a nice tone...loud and definitely not boxy. I was also pleasantly surprised by the soft case it came with and strap!!! I say that if this quaint little guitar works for musician/surfer extraordinaire Donovan Frankenreiter it can certainly work for me too. Loving it and I've been recommending it to every musical amateur and VET I know!!!!

.This is a great guitar. Great sound..not too thin. The sound is bright, with enough bass. The fretboard is easy to manoeuvre and the 12th fret at the body join gives the guitar the resonance
and responsiveness many guitars do not give.
The fine quality cedar top is a powerful attribute for this size guitar. I have two of these,a nylon string and a steel string.
The included case is equally well made,looks good with creative colours and design.
Thank You Custom Guitars Friend for the fine service.
