A Classical Guitar Built for the Stage

Give your classical repertoire a sonic makeover with the Stage thin-body nylon acoustic-electric from Cordoba. This chambered classical brings warm, round tones to the table with a body crafted and chambered from mahogany. A spruce top capped with a flame maple veneer brings articulate tones and note separation while catching the eyes of your audience wherever you gig. Speaking of gigs, the Cordoba Stage delivers exceptional plugged-in tone courtesy of its under-saddle transducer and body mic coupled with a Stage Pickup System preamp. A mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard will keep your hand comfortable fretting chords and stretching to notes for hours during practice and performance.

Beautiful looks and more

The Cordoba Stage will grace any stage with style, tone, and aesthetic appeal. A flame maple veneer atop its spruce top makes it an eye-catcher right off the bat. A chambered mahogany body also diminishes its weight and adds resonance, making it a breeze to play for those long practice sessions. Lastly, an ergonomic Cordoba Fusion mahogany neck makes time onstage and practicing at home even more comfortable. If it’s not love at first sight, it will be once you play it!

Electronics bring precision to the voice

Take the Cordoba Stage wherever your classical performances take you. This acoustic-electric sports electronics co-developed with Fishman, delivering its tone with precision. Thanks to an under-saddle transducer coupled with a body mic, both vibrations from the strings and the voice of the guitar receive direct capture from the electronics system. Pair that with a Stage Pickup System preamp, and this classical Cordoba treats listeners to a warm, rich tone with fantastic midrange — a big reason it has become a favorite among classical guitarists around Sweetwater.

Cordoba Stage Thin-body Nylon Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Chambered mahogany body brings warm, rounded tones to the guitar's voice
  • Spruce top capped with flame maple veneer adds articulation and stunning looks
  • Electronics system codeveloped with Fishman offers precise tonal capture through body and string resonance
  • 3-piece Cordoba Fusion mahogany neck makes playing for hours on end comfortable

Cordoba nylon

This guitar is one of the nicest sounding electric nylon guitars I've played. Plus it's beautiful.
The Setup needed no adjustment. Sweetwater 55 point
setup could not have been better.
Thanks so much. Would buy
My guitar arrived superbly packed and upon opening it had not even one fingerprint on it. Ready to lay right out of the box.
You guys rock
I was super impressed.

Amazing electric nylon string

I purchased one early in the production run, and the neck angle was such that it had high action that could not be adjusted at the saddle, so I returned it. Another player ordered one but felt that the neck dimensions were not good for his hand, so I purchased his. The action was amazing, and I really liked the sound and playability. There was an issue with the tuning machines. The holes for the rollers were off slightly, which caused the tuners to bind. I realigned the holes and replaced one set of tuners, which fixed the problem. I replaced the stock pickup with an upgraded Fishman Matrix which really elevated the instrument sonically. The Matrix paired perfectly with top sensors, and was very easy to connect to the preamp. I had to affix additional wire ties inside the body to prevent wires from touching the top and causing vibrations. Even with the quality control issues, this is a fantastic guitar that looks and sounds amazing. I hope that Cordoba will correct these minor issues, even if it means selling this instrument at a higher price point. The design is good enough that it would be worth it. I have owned multiple acoustic-electric or solidbody nylon string guitars, and the Stage has the best feature set for the money. 3 stars for the condition of the guitar when shipped, 5 stars for the guitar in its present state.

I love this Guitar

Let me start By thanking all those folks at SweetWater who check the product before it goes out the door. It made my first play of the Stage a wonderful occasion. Pictures are great, but in person, the guitar is even more beautiful. Job well done Cordoba! I use a Roland Acoustic Singer for amplifying when needed and am very pleased with the over all sound. It can be scary to purchase a guitar you do not get to physically play and see how it feels. I don't worry about that with SweetWater. Thanks to all of you!

Cordoba Stage... WOW!!!!

The well-named Cordoba Stage is a marvel of guitar engineering. Despite being a thinline, there's nothing thin about the sound. Unplugged, it's surprisingly loud, with a wonderful warm tone. Plugged in, it comes alive with the nuances the marvelous Fishman pickups provide. Amped, this one can hold it's own with a full band behind it, and do so with style. And, it comes with one of the best gig bags I've ever seen.
Thank you Cordoba,Sweetwater, and my great sales engineer Andy Miller!

Astounding, especially at this price

I owned a full size Cordoba a while ago, so I had some confidence this too would be a wonderful instrument, and it is. It is actually better than expected in every way. Far as I can tell the build quality is flawless. Plug it in and, wow, what amazing amplified tones. Straight into the PA or into my Helix, it takes no effort to get wonderful sounds out of this guitar.

Playability is great too. The neck is familiar enough to a classical guitar player but accessible to those of us who primarily play electrics and steel string acoustics after a little assimilation. It does feel very classical, just thinner front to back and slight narrower width wise, but with a very familiar classical U profile.

I also enjoy that the unplugged sound is very good and loud enough to allow you to practice acoustically. Very satisfying. The uniquely styled gig bag, also extremely well made and classy, is icing on the cake.
