Overview
A live stage with monitors and loud neighbors is the setting for this Cordoba, the brand's first nylon-string electric. A chambered mahogany body carries a spruce top with a flame maple veneer, and a piezo and body sensor system sends the sound to an amplifier.
The slim body brings the familiar nylon tone to amplified settings and avoids the feedback that a full-size acoustic can suffer. The sound is not the same as an unplugged classical guitar, so quiet solo playing may favor another model.
Who it's for
Classical guitarists adding stage work and up-and-coming players exploring nylon tone get a thin, light body with a pickup system. Anyone mainly playing unamplified at home may prefer a standard acoustic nylon guitar.
Pros and cons
- Thinbody design reduces stage feedback
- Spruce top with maple veneer
- Undersaddle piezo and body sensors
- Light body for long sets
- Not a full-body acoustic
- Hand orientation limited to right
- Scale unit not given in listing
Performance notes
The undersaddle piezo and body sensors pick up string and body vibration, so the amplified sound stays close to an acoustic nylon guitar. The chambered body and thin depth cut feedback, which is the problem the description says full-size nylon acoustics have on stage.
