Designed with Tosin Abasi to bring modern extended-range thinking into the world of nylon strings, the Cordoba Abasi Stage 7 Ziricote 7-string acoustic-electric guitar is built for precision, balance and control in demanding performance environments. Known for redefining technical guitar through Animals as Leaders, Tosin applies his ergonomic and compositional approach here with a fan-fret, multi-scale neck, a chambered solid body, and Fishman Stage electronics that keep every note clear and intentional. Finished with a solid spruce top and premium ziricote veneer, this Abasi Stage 7 model delivers a focused, contemporary nylon voice suited for stage, studio and players pushing beyond traditional boundaries.
Multi-Scale Fan-Fret Design Balances Tension Across Seven Strings
The Abasi Stage 7 Ziricote features a 27.5" scale on the bass side and 25.5" on the treble side, keeping string tension even and intonation accurate across the full range. A flat C-shape mahogany neck, compound 16"–22" fingerboard radius, and 24 frets support advanced techniques like tapping, wide interval voicings, and extended-range chord work. Offset dot inlays provide clear visual reference while maintaining a clean, modern look.
Fishman Stage Electronics Deliver Controlled, Natural Amplification
The Fishman Stage pickup system blends under-saddle piezo and body sensors to capture both articulation and resonance. Master volume, EQ, and body blend controls let you shape everything from focused, cutting nylon tones to fuller sounds with enhanced low end and percussive tap response. This system is designed to sit clearly in a live mix while preserving the character of the instrument.
Chambered Mahogany Body Enhances Focus and Reduces Feedback
A chambered mahogany body keeps weight down and minimizes feedback at higher volumes, making the Abasi Stage 7 ideal for amplified performance. The solid spruce top with premium ziricote veneer adds stiffness, projection and visual distinction, supported by custom fan bracing and a side oval soundhole that further refine clarity and response.
Durable Materials and Hardware Built for Touring Use
Rosewood components for the fingerboard, bridge, and headplate provide a smooth, durable playing surface, while a dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability across changing environments. Brushed brass Cordoba tuning machines offer precise, reliable tuning across all seven strings, complemented by black hardware and a high-gloss finish designed to withstand regular travel and performance.
A Nylon 7-String for Players Redefining the Instrument
Created for musicians exploring hybrid picking, extended-range melodies, and modern nylon techniques, the Cordoba Abasi Stage 7 Ziricote delivers a focused, ergonomic platform built around real performance needs. Whether you’re inspired by Tosin’s intricate compositions or forging your own path, this guitar offers the articulation, balance and amplified control required to bring progressive ideas confidently from practice to the stage.
