Hey everybody

I'm planning on buying a classical guitar.
I found one on the internet. It's supposed to be a good one (a Cuenca model 50). It's a second hand, but hasn't been played on very often and has no significant damage.
But it's about 10 years old. Is that a problem with a classical guitar? Do they lose quality over the years or does it not matter?

Here is a review but, take it with a grain of salt since the reviewer has only been playing for 3 months. Material wise it looks ok. I have never heard of a Cedar fretboard before but, maybe that is a classical guitar thing.

I don't think I've heard of a cedar fretboard before either. Sure that isn't a mistake and they meant soundboard?

I have not seen one of these guitars, so I can't really say. I did google it and best I can tell it has a ebony fretboard. The site was not in english:
FICHE TECHNIQUE :

Touche : Ebène
Manche : Cèdre
Coloris : naturel
Corps : dos et éclisses acajou
Table :cèdre massif
Chevalet : palissandre
Mécaniques : chromée
