NOBODY in my metropolitan area of 6 million plus had it. So I called Bob, who said he would set the guitar aside for me. Road Trip! The next day, we took the 3 hour journey, and met Bob in his small shop. Prior to our arrival, he had set the guitar up for me. After 30 minutes of playing, the sale was made. Great guitar, fair price, and a knowledgeable owner. 6 stars!

BEST SELECTION OF CLASSICAL GUITARS in the entire DC metro area! You have to call them to set up an…read moreappointment to come by their showroom which is hidden inside the Circle Towers office building in Fairfax. But the visit was quite special. They seem to carry the FULL lineup of Cordoba guitars and Esteve guitars (a brand I was previously unfamiliar with but now appreciate). They also carry a few other brands I haven't seen at any other stores. I told the store owner I was looking for a cedar top (not spruce) classical guitar with a traditional (not crossover) fingerboard. He lined up 6 guitars for me to try out at a leisurely pace which was very helpful in discovering what I really liked. I had visited a few big guitar stores recently and my favorite guitar during those visits was a Cordoba C9. What surprised me is that although that guitar was one of the six that William lined up for me, I found that it was my least favorite of the six. After playing the 6 guitars for an hour, what bubbled to the top was a Esteve 9C/B with its carbon fiber enhanced bracing. It had great projection and sounded very full and balanced. #2 of the 6 for me was the Cordoba C12. Nice playability, looks, and build quality but not as impressive sounding as the slightly cheaper Esteve. So the bottom line is that if you're looking to buy a classical guitar, don't go to other stores that carry a limited range of Cordoba models. Guitar Gallery has the full Cordoba lineup in both spruce and cedar and also carries other brands no other place has.They are so gracious in letting you take your time with a custom line up of guitars. On a final note, they have an amazing selection of classical guitar strings. Probably 8X the selection you'll find at any other store. I picked up 3 sets recommended by William.
