Cordoba Stage Nylon-String Electric Guitar Edge Burst

Stage Pickup System Provides Unprecedented Control

There are many features of the Córdoba Stage that make it a trailblazer in the evolution of the nylon-string guitar, but its pioneering Stage Pickup System is atop the list. Co-developed with the expert designers at Fishman, the Stage Pickup System picks up where the Stage’s robust tonal foundation leaves off, letting players dial in their tone of choice. Its easy-to-access Volume, EQ and Body Blend knobs are intuitive. The one-knob EQ controls the amount of mid-range scoop, if any. Roll the EQ knob clockwise for a more open, airy tone with added punch—great for mixing Stage with singers or other instruments competing for mid-range frequencies. Turn it counterclockwise, and you’ll get a more neutral, present tone. The Body Blend knob controls the level of the body sensor signal, as opposed to the under-saddle pickup. When rolled clockwise, you’ll find a dynamically rich, full-bodied tone. Turned all the way counterclockwise, the body sensor signal is muted entirely, yielding a more cutting, crisp tone. Powered by a 9V battery, the Stage Pickup System opens a myriad of tonal possibilities.

Córdoba Fusion Neck Lends a Familiar Feel to Steel-String Players

Córdoba designed the Fusion Neck with a 48 mm nut width and 16" fretboard radius, marginally thinner than most traditional nylon-string guitars, but unmistakably noticeable in terms of playing feel. Steel-string players making the transition to this nylon acoustic will find its comfort factor a huge benefit—whether on stage entertaining an audience, or in the studio meticulously hitting each note with the desired accuracy. The Stage has a form factor that’s also appealing to junior players, or those with smaller hands, as a clever choice for an introduction to the world of nylon-string guitars.
