Coda Music Omdömen 

I ordered a second hand Gretsch G5127 project guitar which required some restoration work.The guitar arrived on time in a nice Gretsch case and I had it all sorted out by tea time.What a fantastic guitar it is and it plays & sounds superb. Thankyou Coda music.

John from the acoustic side has been amazing and highly responsive to all my questions. It has been a pleasure doing business with them.

Great service used before quick cheap shipping a quality operation!.

always a professional service and very competitive

I have bought two guitars from Coda Music online in the last month. One ex display and one used. Both were mint & arrived within 48 hours of placing the order. The box was battered to hell on the second one but I suspect that was down to DHL Express. Would definitely buy from Coda Music in the future (if the wife will let me have any more guitars).

Bought a beginner ascoustic guitar for my little brother, the chap that dealt with us was lovely very knowledgeable gave us lots of good recommendations, just an all round lovely customer experience

The selection is absolutely amazing, from beginner to professional with great advice from very knowledgeable staff, I wouldn’t go anywhere else if you’re looking to buy your first guitar, upgrade or add to your collection.

Allways the guys there. It works!

Excellent service choice of great guitars at a reasonable price and quickly delivered

Shopped at Coda many times and always had good experience.
Product is excellent and was a great price.

Coda music always spot on with delivery and service 🤗

Excellent service and guitar. Only minor observation is Coda used DHL for the delivery who don’t give a delivery timeslot so it’s a case of having to wait in all day, most other couriers nowadays offer a 1 hour timeslot which is very helpful.

Excellent fast delivery and a beautiful guitar at a great price. 10/10 would use coda music again.

Its coda music. That's all you need to know to feel confident in getting amazing customer service. Top that with an excellent selection of guitars and effects to choose from and a very fast delivery .

Simple, next-day delivery and the used guitar was in great condition with a good set-up.

I've written another review on a previous Coda order immediately before this one, so I won't bore you with the same details. Everything was similarly perfect, and I really appreciate it.

I ordered a secondhand Lowden from them- I called in advance to reassure myself of the delivery and returns policy as it was a high value item. The sales person in the acoustic department was very helpful. The item received was in pretty much perfect condition (far better than I expected for a second hand guitar) and the packaging (a hard case + packed cardboard exterior) protected the guitar in transit. Very happy and would definitely use Coda in future.

Top class instrument with super fast delivery. Deposit paid via website 26/11. Balance paid 28/11 Friday morning for delivery Monday 1/11 - This actually turned up from DHL Saturday 29/11 - So far so good. Let it acclimatise for a good few hours before de-boxing, which, is a rule of thumb for me.

So it's 5/5 for packing and (free) delivery.

On opening the case, I was presented with a fine looking guitar, a Fender Suona Thinline Stratocaster Limited edition, made in Corona in 2023. Ash semi hollow body, Spruce top with F hole, Subtle flame maple roasted neck. Ebony fretboard, and finished in "Violin" Burst. For a second hand item this has not a mark on it and being only 2 years old I don't think it was played very much.

Second hand used condition 5/5

The only real downside for me is the bridge pickup, which, to my ear seems a little harsh in the top end. They are Fender custom 69's (neck and bridge)and a specially voiced bridge s/c which I'm finding is the really harsh & over trebly pickup.

Pickups 4/5

Overall the sound is warm and quite rounded for a strat, it's not thicker sounding or boomy in the lower frequency register, in fact, acoustically you can hear the warm hollow bodyness when strummed without an amp.

Sound 4/5 (bridge pickup loses a point here)

The bridge is a standard 6 screw bridge, with the screw in tremolo arm, again the big issue is with how the arm fits into the, Using a stock trem arm with the right thread the loose fit is annoying but slipping a tension spring in the arm hole will/should solve that.

Bridge 4/5

A few adjustments to bridge and the saddles were necessary as was a 1/4 turn on the truss rod to make this guitar play the way I feel comfortable with. but that's a norm for me when buying guitars, I like to set them up myself.

Overall the service from the guys at Coda was great, they answered all my questions via email very quickly and efficiently. The website I like very much because online you can pay a deposit, pay the balance within six weeks, which is handy to have. Its pretty easy to navigate through it too, when paying this way.

The guitar itself is great and the shortfalls in the pickup and bridge are only minor and are easily overcome.

Thanks
