Nylon goes stage

Cordoba Stage Guitar Traditional CD

Nylon-string guitars are not just for beginners or classical guitarists; they play a vital role in South American music and have also found their place in Pop and Rock. However, using them on stage without restrictions presents challenges, as their lightweight construction makes these instruments prone to feedback. This is where the American guitar manufacturer Cordoba steps in with its Stage Guitar series, which includes the stylish Stage Guitar Traditional CD - an instrument that can definitely be said to check all the right boxes!

Cordoba Stage Guitar Traditional CD, top: solid cedar

The subtle sound of cedar

The Cordoba Stage Guitar Traditional CD stands out thanks to three key features: A thinline design with a hollow interior cavity and a particularly shallow body, a neck that is 52mm wide at the nut and features a profile similar to that of a classical guitar, and a Fishman Stage pickup system to allow the guitar to be amplified effortlessly. With its combination of a mahogany body, a solid cedar top, and a specialised bracing system, this instrument also will provide impressive acoustic performance.

For those who like it traditional

If there is a nylon-string guitar made for the stage, it's the Cordoba Stage Guitar Traditional CD. Players who are used to a traditional classical guitar will appreciate the familiar feel of its neck profile, while the excellent-sounding and user-friendly Fishman pickup ensures stage readiness when combined with a proper setup. The guitar's price reflects its high-quality features, likely deterring beginners and casual players, but discerning guitarists and professionals will find it well worth the investment.

About Cordoba

Cordoba Guitars was founded in 1997 in Santa Monica/California by Tim Miklaucic with the aim of making the classical nylon string guitar accessible to as many musicians as possible. Manufactured in the Spanish tradition with a high degree of attention to detail, Cordoba's range includes a selection of acoustic guitars for a wide variety of styles such as classical, flamenco or fusion, which are offered in equally different price ranges. Besides the probably most popular models Cordoba C5 and C7, which shine with an excellent price-performance ratio, the instruments of the Master-Series, which are manufactured in the USA by experienced guitar builders, are undoubtedly among the best nylon string guitars that can be found on the market. In addition to its core business of acoustic guitars, Cordoba also has a wide range of high-quality ukuleles that are made with the same care as their six-string brothers and sisters.

From bedroom to stage

The Cordoba Stage Guitar Traditional CD offers two distinct sound options thanks to its unique construction: On stage, the instrument delivers an authentic nylon-string sound by virtue of its freely-vibrating solid top and flat, hollow body, and this sound can be easily amplified by the onboard Fishman pickup system; off stage, the guitar produces a natural, though quieter sound that is perfect for late-night practice, with a dynamic and sensitive tone which will rival that of a full-sized classical guitar.

Good guitar for the price, but will benefit from setup
Keith Murray 10.06.2024
Overall, I am pleased with the guitar when you condsider the cost of the instrument is not that high. The frets are level, which is great, but very rough and needed a lot of polishing. The nut and saddle were both too high, and I have lowered these quite a lot. The truss rod needed adjustment too, but that is expected in a new instrument. I have filed the saddle to compensate the saddle and now the intonation is much improved. I may replace the tuners too as I think the guitar is good enough to benefit from a higher quality set. The undersaddle pickup is ok, but I may change this too in the future. There was quite a lot of rattling and buzzing from inside the instrument, so I have had to cable tie loose lengths of cable coming from the pickups and pack some foam into control cavity and battery compartment to stop these sounds as they were very annoying. I'm pleased with the instrument, but be prepared to do some work on it to get the best performance.

Cool guitar
dom_89 08.09.2024
It is a very good guitar for the price.
Beautiful finish and design.
The guitar is definitely made to be played with amplification, but the unplugged sound is fair and even louder than what you could expect from such a thin body.
I did investigate before buying it and saw some youtube videos about it and I can confirm that you won't be disappointed if you have a classical guitar background.

Prima Konzertgitarre fürs 21. Jahrhundert
Guido791 11.02.2025
Ich habe jetzt seit einer Woche die Cordoba Stage Traditional und bin sehr zufrieden. Das Konzept, Nylonsaiten mit einer Solidbody (oder Thinline) Konstruktion ist nicht neu. In der Vergangenheit gab es ikonische Instrumente dieser Art beispielsweise die Gibson CE oder die Ovation Classic. Allen gemein war ein gewöbtes Griffbrett in der Breite einer Schülergitarre (48 mm). Was bei Stahlsaitengitarren funktioniert, funktioniert bei einer klassichen Gitarre nun einmal nicht. Bei klassischer Spielweise befindet sich der Daumen auf der Rücksaite des Halses etwa in der Mitte und die Finger der linken Hand treffen von oben im 90 Grad Winkel auf die Saiten. Und deswegen MUSS das Griffbrett 52 mm breit sein und ungwölbt. Stahsaitengitarristen haben den Hals mit der linken Hand im Würgegriff und die Finger treffen schräg auf die Saiten, um diese zu dehen / benden. Und das haben die Konstrukteure im Sinne einer Konzertgitarre hier richtig gemacht. Das Griffbrett hat die richtige Breite und ist nicht gewölbt. Allerdings ist der Hals ungewöhnlich dünn und hat einen Stahlstab. Mit einem etwas dickeren Hals wäre die Gitarre einer Konzertgitarre noch ähnlicher und der Einstellstab wäre überflüssig.
Aber egal, daran gewöhne ich mich gerne, denn die Gitarre hat einiges zu bieten. Sie ist mit der massiven Zederndecke einerseits eine echte Schöhnheit (die anderen Gitarren dieser Bauart haben eine Laminatdecke) und durch die massive Decke klingt sie unglaublich gut. Der Tonabnehmer fängt das Signal erstaunlich gut ab. Es gibt einen Body poti (mitte), der eine unglaubliche Natürlichkeit in den Sound bringt. Mit dieser Gitarre lässt sich ein ganzes Auftrittsprogramm aufbauen, ein unglaublicher Sound, der sich gut modulieren lässt. Bässe sind reichlich da und ein Sustain, dass viel länger als bei einer Akustikgitarre ist. Ich spiele diese Gitarre zuhause über einen Acus Verstärker und hatte sie auch schon an meiner PA direkt ins Pult gespielt. Funktioniert bestens. Ganz frei von Rückkopplungen ist das Instrument nicht. Bei voll aufgedrehtem Body Regler kann es pfeifen. Drehst ihn zurück, pfeift es nicht mehr.
Ich bin super zufrieden mit dem Instrument. Ich habe bei der Bewertung bedacht, dass es sich um eine Gitarre im (noch) unteren mittleren Preisniveau handelt; dafür ist der Gegenwert sehr gut. Falls es mal eine Pro Version aus den USA geben sollte (vielleicht mit etwas kräftigerem Hals und ohne Stahlstab ;-), dann kündige ich mein Sparbuch. Klasse Gitarre!

Ein bisschen verliebt
Mart Re 27.03.2024
Wollte mich mal an einer Konzertgitarre versuchen aus Spaß an der Freude, und suchte was Handliches mit Tonabnehmern und Sattel 52 mm. Die Sattelbreite deswegen, da ich bisher die Strat gewohnt war und - wenn schon Konzertgitarre - ich den Unterschied dazu haben wollte.

In der Traditional CD habe ich alles gefunden was ich gesucht habe: Schön handlich durch den schmalen Korpus (hatte Bedenken, was Tieferes zu nehmen), einigermaßen vielseitig durch den EQ- und Blend-Regler. Lag von Anfang an super in der Hand, und auch wenn ich eher kleinere Hände habe keine Schwierigkeiten beim Greifen. Verarbeitung meines Erachtens tadellos, ist hübsch anzusehen und macht einfach Spaß, damit zu üben. Aktuell mein Lieblingsinstrument seit dem ersten Tag.

PS.: Zum Sound kann ich nichts sagen, da meine Zupftechnik noch jeder Beschreibung spottet, muss aber Sterne vergeben. Mit einer ausgewachsenen Konzertgitarre wird die Stage nicht mithalten können, deswegen drei Sterne.
