Doing some research on this inexpensive nylon hybrid electric guitar and stumbled across this clip. If I buy one will I sound like this? Whoah! Listen to all three sections.

I think David has a Cordoba classical. Unsure of the model, maybe he will weigh in,

I love my Cordoba classical acoustic electric. It’s a full sized lap guitar, sounds great, plays great. I don’t play it out much as I love my Matt Arcara OOO which better suits my style of play. But the Cordoba came to me for about 400 bucks and I’ve never heard or played a guitar in that price range that could beat it.

Nice stuff but he is using too low a tension of string for a flatpick or has the action too low. He gets a clack on every up stroke of the pick. |

He is pretty much my double as I play my Cordoba hybrid classical. The only difference I see is, maybe 45 years of age, 100% talent, and a different model of Cordoba guitar. |

 Guy on the right played a Godin and it sounded great. |

Watched it again: maybe 48 years of age difference, 127% talent, and I have an older, much cheaper model, guitar

I have a Cordoba C-10. It’s a nicely made guitar that sounds really good. John Mediatore had one at IJam a few years back & he let me play it. I liked it enough to get one.
I haven’t had any experience with the acoustic-electric models but their new hybrid looks interesting to me.

Nice thing about the new hybrid would be having a 14 fret neck and the ability to get to higher frets.

After watching the review it looks like a real nice option for a Nylon-electric. I think the Fishman system sounds a lot better than the system Godin uses.
It's interesting that the reviewer noted it as solid spruce top...but with a maple veneer.
So it's not a solid top, it's a typical guitar veneer (solid wood base with a solid wood veneer). Which helps it reach that price point.
In any event when it comes to acoustic-electric, the solid wood top is not that important.
If I had anoher itch for a nylon-electric, I'd give this one a look.
I also noticed in reading the specs that it is a 26.5" scale length. Most acoustics are around 25.5"
So this guitar will put the nylon strings under greater tension than a typical classical guitar.
Making the strings less floppy allows the action to be lower and, to my ears, sound better.

Well I had some Amazon points burning a hole in my pocket so have one coming for about three fitty. Assuming it intonates and can be set up OK it is gonna be fun.
