Built for players who want the look and feel of a traditional nylon-string guitar without sacrificing stage-ready performance, the Cordoba Stage Artist Traditional blends classical familiarity with modern amplification. A solid cedar top finished in antique-tinted gloss pairs with a chambered mahogany body to produce a warm acoustic voice and a fuller amplified response. The flat fingerboard and 52 mm nut width create an immediately familiar feel for classical players, while the Fishman co-developed Stage Pickup System brings clarity and control to live and studio settings. The result is a nylon-string electric that moves comfortably between tradition and performance demands.

Stage Pickup System for Balanced Amplified Tone

The Stage Artist Traditional features the Fishman Stage Pickup System, combining an under-saddle transducer with an internal body sensor. This dual-source design captures both string articulation and body resonance, delivering a balanced and detailed amplified sound. Onboard volume, EQ, and body blend controls allow players to fine-tune their tone quickly, making it easy to adapt to different rooms, ensembles, or recording environments.

Chambered Body Design With Improved Comfort

A thicker mahogany body with expanded internal chambering gives the Stage Artist Traditional a more substantial feel and a louder acoustic response than slimmer stage-focused nylons. A deeper body contour and sculpted neck heel help offset the added depth, allowing the guitar to sit comfortably against the player while maintaining access to upper frets. This design supports longer playing sessions without sacrificing projection or control.

Refined Materials and Traditional Visual Details

Premium appointments reinforce the guitar’s traditional aesthetic. Ebony binding with maple purfling frames the solid cedar top, while a rosewood headplate with maple purfling and a flamed maple Cordoba Arches logo adds visual distinction. Rosewood knobs with maple inlays, an ebony bridge with bone saddle, and Cordoba Flower Petal tuners reflect careful attention to detail throughout the instrument.

Classical Geometry With Modern Adjustability

The flat ebony fingerboard, 12-fret neck joint, and 52 mm nut width cater directly to classical and crossover players. A dual-action truss rod allows precise neck adjustment, supporting consistent setup across changing environments. These familiar proportions make the transition from acoustic classical guitars seamless while retaining the flexibility expected from a performance instrument.

A Stage-Ready Nylon Guitar With Traditional Roots

The Cordoba Stage Artist Traditional brings together classical feel, refined craftsmanship, and dependable amplification in a single instrument. With its cedar top, chambered mahogany body, and versatile Fishman pickup system, it offers a practical solution for nylon-string players who perform regularly and need consistent tone on stage and in the studio.
