Cordoba Stage Guitar Traditional CD

Overall, I am pleased with the guitar when you condsider the cost of the instrument is not that high. The frets are level, which is great, but very rough and needed a lot of polishing. The nut and saddle were both too high, and I have lowered these quite a lot. The truss rod needed adjustment too, but that is expected in a new instrument. I have filed the saddle to compensate the saddle and now the intonation is much improved. I may replace the tuners too as I think the guitar is good enough to benefit from a higher quality set. The undersaddle pickup is ok, but I may change this too in the future. There was quite a lot of rattling and buzzing from inside the instrument, so I have had to cable tie loose lengths of cable coming from the pickups and pack some foam into control cavity and battery compartment to stop these sounds as they were very annoying. I'm pleased with the instrument, but be prepared to do some work on it to get the best performance.

It is a very good guitar for the price.
Beautiful finish and design.
The guitar is definitely made to be played with amplification, but the unplugged sound is fair and even louder than what you could expect from such a thin body.
I did investigate before buying it and saw some youtube videos about it and I can confirm that you won't be disappointed if you have a classical guitar background.

Wollte mich mal an einer Konzertgitarre versuchen aus Spaß an der Freude, und suchte was Handliches mit Tonabnehmern und Sattel 52 mm. Die Sattelbreite deswegen, da ich bisher die Strat gewohnt war und - wenn schon Konzertgitarre - ich den Unterschied dazu haben wollte.

In der Traditional CD habe ich alles gefunden was ich gesucht habe: Schön handlich durch den schmalen Korpus (hatte Bedenken, was Tieferes zu nehmen), einigermaßen vielseitig durch den EQ- und Blend-Regler. Lag von Anfang an super in der Hand, und auch wenn ich eher kleinere Hände habe keine Schwierigkeiten beim Greifen. Verarbeitung meines Erachtens tadellos, ist hübsch anzusehen und macht einfach Spaß, damit zu üben. Aktuell mein Lieblingsinstrument seit dem ersten Tag.

PS.: Zum Sound kann ich nichts sagen, da meine Zupftechnik noch jeder Beschreibung spottet, muss aber Sterne vergeben. Mit einer ausgewachsenen Konzertgitarre wird die Stage nicht mithalten können, deswegen drei Sterne.
