Its comfortable 52mm nut width, flat fingerboard and slim 1.5" body thickness provide a familiar playing experience for seasoned nylon-string musicians. Yet the solid cedar top and fully hollow solid mahogany body deliver the rich, resonant acoustic tone Córdoba is renowned for. The revolutionary dual pickup system, co-designed with Fishman, gives you unmatched control over your amplified nylon-string sound. Shape your tone with master volume, mid-scoop EQ and body sensor blend controls. The natural gloss finish highlights the graceful contours and beautiful solid woods. Express yourself on stage or in the studio with the warm, dynamic voice of the Cordoba Stage Traditional CD.
Traditional Neck Profile With 52mm Nut Width Appeals to Players Accustomed to Classical Guitars
The Stage Traditional CD's wider 52mm nut and flat fingerboard provides familiar comfort for classical guitar players making the transition to an electric guitar. The neck has a rounded C profile at the 1st and 9th frets for contour and depth. While the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard offers smooth playability all the way to the body. You'll appreciate the neck feel you know and love from your favorite nylon stringed instrument, now on a rich-sounding electric nylon-string guitar.
Revolutionary Dual Pickup System Allows Unprecedented Tone Shaping
The innovative Fishman pickup system lets you sculpt a nylon-string tone that's uniquely yours. Master volume gives you overall output control. The mid-scoop EQ cuts or boosts treble and bass frequencies when soloing or mixing with other instruments. Blend in the sound of the body sensors to increase resonance and percussive body tap. With this level of tonal control, you can cut through a mix with clarity, round out your sound with warmth or find the perfect balance. The Stage Traditional CD puts exceptional amplified nylon-string tone right at your fingertips.
Fully Hollow, Chambered Mahogany Body Provides Enhanced Resonance
Within the slim, lightweight body lies impressive acoustic potential. Meticulous chambering of the solid mahogany back and sides allows the Stage Traditional CD to freely vibrate and project, while making this nylon-string guitar comfortable on stage or in the studio. The elegant body contours fit your physique, with a tapered lower bout for ergonomic feel. Córdoba's expertise in classical guitar design shines through in the resonance and playability that belie the Stage Traditional CD's slim 1.5" thickness.
Fishman Piezo and Body Sensor Pickups Capture a Rich, Dynamic Nylon-String Tone
The Fishman pickup system uses both under-saddle piezo pickups and body sensors to capture the true voice of the Stage Traditional CD. The piezo pickups convey the crisp articulation and rich overtones of the cedar top. Body sensors mounted on the soundboard pick up deep resonance and percussive body taps. Together, they reproduce the dynamic acoustic sound with accuracy and clarity through an amp or PA. You'll love the organic, expressive tone that the Stage Traditional CD produces in any amplified setting.
Gloss Natural Finish Highlights the Beauty of Solid Cedar Top and Mahogany Back/Sides
Natural gloss finish allows the premium solid tonewoods to shine, accentuating the grain patterns of the cedar and mahogany. The smooth gloss highlights the refined contours and binding while protecting the woods. Visually and sonically, the Stage Traditional CD embodies Córdoba's passion for the materials and craftsmanship of classical guitar making. Its graceful good looks will inspire you on stage night after night.
