An Excellent Crossover Guitar

If you're looking for any easy transition to classical guitar from a steel string acoustic, you'll love the Cordoba Fusion 12 Natural. The 12 Natural is aptly named, with 12 frets up to the neck joint, with a total of 19 frets and a cutaway design for easy access. Crossover guitarists will feel comfortable with the thin-profile mahogany neck and 1.875" nut width. And for optimum tone, the 12 Natural sports mahogany back and sides with a solid cedar top. You even get the Fishman Presys pickup system, for great sounding plugged-in performance. For a fast playing, great looking, and rich sounding nylon-string guitar, get the Cordoba Fusion 12 Natural.

Ideal crossover guitar

The Cordoba Fusion 12 Natural's mahogany neck has a thinner profile than most nylon-string guitars, making it more comfortable for steel-string acoustic players and electric players. The Fusion 12 Natural also has a smaller nut width of 1.875" for an even easier transition. It's also a great feel if you have smaller hands but don't want to go with a smaller 3/4 size guitar.

Premium tonewoods

Cordoba's Fusion 12 Natural features mahogany back, sides, and neck for a powerful yet balanced low-midrange. It's a great combination with the Canadian cedar top, which has excellent projection and liveliness. You'll love the great sustain and detail of the 12 Natural's tone.

Fishman electronics

Your Cordoba Fusion 12 Natural comes with a built-in Fishman Presys pickup system for great plugged-in tone. Whether you're playing live or just want an easy way to record, you'll love how the Fishman Presys system picks up every nuance of your performance.

Cordoba Fusion 12 Natural Nylon-string Guitar Features:

  • Thinner, narrower neck and built-in electronics make this an ideal crossover guitar
  • Rich, balanced tone courtesy of premium tonewoods
  • Excellent projection and dynamics due to the classic fan bracing construction
  • Sounds great plugged-in with Fishman Presys electronics built-in

Cordoba Fusion 12

I bought the guitar a few weeks ago and have been playing it ever since. I was drawn to the playability and excellent tone. After receiving it I soon realized I needed to lower the strings/raise the frets via the truss rod. From google suggestions, I spent three days carefully adjusting the truss rod in order to allow the neck to rest. Got the neck adjusted, new strings and have had a couple of shows to break it in. Having a tuner and three band eq is excellent. I like the warm tone of the cedar top, reason why I chose it.

Awesome quality for the money

I'm not a classical player, but wanted a nylon string voice to add to all my steel string instruments. It's the perfect balance for me. Neck isn't as narrow as my Gibson's, but easily playable compared to a full 2 inch neck classical. Sound is adequate with the solid cedar top - a nice feature. Perfect fit and finish. No complaints on this well made mid-grade guitar. A 5 star rating for what it is.

Excellent

Great playability, looks and tone. The electronics sound good but I usually don't plug it in,it sounds very good even without an amp. It's barely broken in and there's a slight buzz on the 1st string 2nd fret,but a little tweak on the trussed and I'm sure it'll be fine. I absolutely love this guitar!

Every bit as good as represented!

First of all, the speed with which this order arrived was amazing. Two day free shipping was promised. It arrived in 26 hours!
I don't mind saying I was a bit nervous about buying a guitar online made in China. However, 47 years of guitar playing informs me to never count anything out. I have had several Asian-made steel string instruments that I count among my best.
So, realistically, one can't expect the same quality in a... $5K one. However, I'm also an experienced woodworker, and the clean joinery of this axe is very, very good! The binding is flawless.
I've never bought a new instrument whose action I didn't want to improve, but this is pretty good right out of the box. I won't mess with it until the first change of strings, and that may be awhile, because it came with good ones. I will have the saddle shaved a bit at some point. The fact that it has an adjustable truss rod is a very pleasant surprise.
Electronics are Fishman. Need I say more? I am very happy with this Fusion. I have tried the Alvarez hybrid in store. This is, for me, a much better choice!
