Cordoba Stage
Anyone have one or tried it out? Thoughts? I just got one and wonder what others think of it. Jury is still out for me but I'll give it a chance before making the final decision.

It will be interesting to see what responses you get, as well as your review.
I'm interested in an "alternative" nylon strung guitar, but I'd prefer a much shorter scale length. There are a few topics relating to the Cordoba Stage, HERE is one that has good info about the guitar if anyone is not familiar. |

Skip,
I had the chance to try one at a local store maybe 3 or so weeks ago. I played it through a Fishman Loudbox (I think it was the Artist). It sounded great when the body mic was blended in. Pros:
Cons:
Everyone's mileage will certainly vary. The sound was quite lovely if you ask me. If it were out when I was looking to buy an amplified solution, I'd strongly consider this vs. my Godin. |

Skip, where did you end up with this guitar?
I just got one delivered yesterday for a project I'm doing for my wife, and my first impressions are very favorable. But I'm also using it for non-traditional classical stuff. More or less synth-pop 80's flavored music that will have a nylon string sound in it. Luckily for me I only need to make short bits for Podcast/YouTube and not entire songs. It seems like it'll be perfect for my purpose. Easy to plug in and run through some effects to my computer. Lots of Source Audio stuff and midi controllers/keys for this. |

I tried one at GC. Wanted to love it, as I have another Cordoba nylon already. I couldn't find anything wrong with it, in terms of sound or playability. And the price, while still expensive, seems fair. For whatever reason, it just didn't make me want to play it, or be inspired by it. That is totally subjective, and I may not have messed with it long enough to get everything out of it in a noisy GC. But definitely worth consideration, and about half the cost of a Godin Multiac.... I'd say it is a very good value. Cordoba does a nice job.
