Frequently Asked Questions
The Rodriguez 60-C generally offers a slightly warmer, more traditional Spanish tone compared to the brighter, more modern sound of the Cordoba. Yamaha’s CG122MS is a solid value, but the Rodriguez often feels a bit more refined in build quality.
The 52mm nut width is standard for classical guitars, and the mahogany neck has a comfortable, medium-slim profile. While it might feel a bit snug for some with very large hands, most players will find it manageable.
The armrest is primarily for comfort, reducing fatigue during extended playing sessions. It has a minimal impact on the guitar's acoustic properties, though some players might perceive a slight dampening effect very close to the soundhole.
