Took a few months but they have started shipping! As soon as I saw this had to have it. I have a 6 string Cordoba Stage and love it, so this has replaced it. The 24 frets are 100% accessible and amazing to play. This is my first fan fret as my electric 7 is straight. Reaching "back" for the low C took a little getting used to.

Opened it up last night and after 20 minutes was inspired to improv this.

The strings are new as could be, so a bit noisy and need to be broken in more. The strings are not on the market yet btw. Regular classical strings will NOT work since the D & A need longer length. These are high tension but I play downtuned anyway so the tension is fine. I do plan on changing the trebles out for sure and after playing it more might lower the action a very small amount.

Overall VERY satisfied! Tosin and Cordoba made an amazing instrument.

I feel like I've won something or achieved a new level. After 36 years of playing, I can count on two hands the number of strings I've broke. It rarely happens, but tonight Holy Sh... it drew blood!! Haha

I have an Ovation 8-string reconfigured A-A (1/2 step down) with a .007 high A.

For the very first time I've had a string break at a fret, 5th fret. So bizarre. Didn't expect a snap to whack my index finger like a whip and draw blood though! Good thing there are a ton of spares in stock.

Drawing blood can't be a common thing... or prove me wrong? Let us all know! I can't be the only one.

btw I feel this doesn't break posting rule #6 ;) as it doesn't mention blood
