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

Cordoba Fusion
Beautiful to look at as well as play. I am 80 years old and have owned at least 70 guitars if not more. Cordoba makes a great nylon string guitar. This model is great for someone that does not really like the wide neck on classical guitars. I play all kinds of guitars poorly lol but going back and forth from say an electric to nylon is great with the dimensions on this Cordoba. It has fret markers on the top of the fretboard to help you remember where you are. It also is both acoustic alone or amified. There is also a built in tuner which I like. The tone is awesome, rich and the thicker strings are deep which bass players and others will enjoy hearing. Sweetwater has the best sales and customer support of any online I have have had experience with which is over a dozen thru the years. Can you tell I am happy with my purchase? I am.
Incredible guitar. Superb Nylon guitar for steel strings player
I am an extremely fussy pro level guitarist, who has played for years. I've owned many high end Stella string acoustic instruments, notably Martins, Taylors, Breedloves, and Takamine Pro series guitars. My steel stringed instrument of choice now, with tendinitis and arthritis in my hands is the Martin 000-18, with a factory installed Fishman pickup. So, finding a Nylon stringed guitar that was as close in ease of playability and sound was a long quest. I've tried and owned several of the Cordoba Fusion series competitors, and was dissatisfied with all of them, for various reasons (ease of play, workmanship, tone, overall sound, etc. Finally, I took a chance on the Cordoba Fusion 12 Rose II. I am so glad I did. The quality of the instrument is superb. The all Rosewood construction ( Spruce top, with the Rosewood overlay)is beautiful, the craftsmanship is equal to that of Martin or Taylor. Sound wise, it is warm and sweet, with great tone production. For a small bodied guitar, it has a lot of power, without sacrificing warmth and clarity. Size wise, it is very close to a 000 Martin, and the 16" radiused neck makes it easy to transition from steel strings to nylon. I waited the recommended 24 hours before opening the carton (not easy, but smart to do), and then put the guitar through its paces. It is equally superb sounding unplugged, and amplified, through my Fishman Loudbox. Overall, it is the equal of a Martin or Taylor $ guitar, at a third of the price. Sweetwater was extremely helpful and professional in their sales and informational operations— I highly recommend them as a top instrument dealership. My only suggestion to potential purchasers of this guitar is to get rid of the Savarez Corum strings—always hated them. Personally, I would put on D'Addario Pro Arte J45s on the guitar, as they are warmer, and less brittle sounding. I realize that is personal taste, but the D'Addario strings are far easy to,play.
